In a way, yes. On the other hand the fact that they couldn't reproduce it straight forward shows that it must be a very unlikely combination of factors. Now they eliminated or reduced multiple additional factors besides the obvious one (the Bearing manufacturer - seeing the different rollers in the video gave me shivers - how can so differently radiused rollers be equally suited to the same application?). Personally I would say with all these measures in place the next helicopter to lose an entire MGB will be a different Make/Model. Will it be economically viable? Well that is a good question.
