A bit too much wind power by the looks of it.

But it looks to me like it bent rather than fractured.

Looks to me like they forgot to inflate it.

Pieces of blade are documented as travelling over 1300 metres. In Germany, blade pieces have gone through the roofs and walls of nearby buildings.

Good grief...!
