Windmills are very dangerous. They have to shut down rows of windmills before service personnel can even drive out to do any work on a machine. If a blade breaks free it can be thrown a half of a mile. They call that a LOBA (Loss of Blade Accident)

I would imagine that the whole tower would be in danger of collapse if that occurred, the unbalanced force rotating like that isn’t something that you can just damp out.

I’m no engineer, but I do know when the feces hits the fan.
