          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.

                There's a page here with some startling statistics on injuries and deaths caused by wind turbines.

                http://www.caithnesswindfarms.co.uk/page4.htm

                They are surprisingly dangerous.

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