It seems the blade hit the refueling receptacle and not the line, and none of the blades seem to depart or break.
I do think it would introduce an unbalance in the main rotor which would lead to vibration, which could lead to failure - but I hope for their sake it did not, and they only needed new flight suits.

I understand this CH53 was recovered.
However, I was told that this has also happened on another occasion. Unfortunately that aircraft suffered main blade damage/failure and was lost with all on board.

If Hog had a nickel for every time this video had been played, he could have bought himself a fleet 300’s.
Even though, you still gotta love it……..”Hog….Hog get away from that thing!!!”
