Bad news for you: There is a (very)remote possibility for the Main Rotor to detach in flight under normal operations in practically any helicopter.

(You loose a part of a blade or a pitch change link comes loose or something major in your MGB brakes and chances are -bye bye to the big ceiling fan above you). Fortunately this happens very rarely. But it has happened in the past and in all likelihood will do so in the future.
