There is no statute of limitations on "flat hatting" so...
The main rotor blades on the 60 series have titanium spars and leading edges, then honey comb aluminum for the rest.
The swept end of the blades helps with blade stall and are "sacrificial", meaning they can are designed to detach if they hit an obstruction like a tree or in the case of the video, water.
Better lucky than good.
