There are several flap failures that I know of that have been survived over the years.  It kind of depends on how much collective you have in when it happens.  At high collective settings when the flap goes away the blade pitches violently down and can strike the other blade.  


However, I'm very curious about the determination of flap failure.  If you read the report closely you will note that no one from the FAA or NTSB actually visited the crash site.  It makes one wonder.....
