I work with failure analysis.
My anafi fell, (luckily less than 4 meters high) two propellers broke, nothing more.
I analyzed one of the fractured propellers, the only one I found, and found that I had a fracture caused by a fatigue mechanism. I inspected the other 6 propellers, not yet fractured, and found that two of them were already with fatigue cracks. I am putting some photos, showing where the crack nucleation occurs, to facilitate the periodic inspection of other pilots.
