I don't have a vector diagram, but if you imagine a high pitch angle on the blade with no airspeed and a settling with power scenario (over pitching), the trailing edge would be lower than the leading edge and thus more exposed to first strike whilst descending to land for example from the hover.
Oh, you're talking about
pitch now!
So, from the hover, in the descent to land, in a settling with power (over pitching) scenario
I guess stranger things happen at sea
