I don't think you're the first to have thought this. I was envisioning one summer when I worked at a friends farm chopping silage, baling hay, etc. And how many times one of those big long belts would break and knock the others off the pulley. That was a real pain in the a**. What would this be?
    Seriously though, I'm sure they have considered this and decided the reliability risk was sufficient.

-so after all the "broken belt taking out the others" alternator/water pump conversations, a multiple belts catastrophe doesn't appear to be a concern with this helicopter? hmmm....
