Are you sure about that Beags?

The RRD engine was fully certified, underwent extensive testing and coped with an explosive release of a fan blade - as expected. The whole thing is wrapped in a kevlar designed to stop any of the high energy bits from leaving the scene.

Not sure that any engine is designed to fall off in the event of a blade failure!
