excessive flapping can cause blades from one rotor hit the other rotorhead, there's a note in the RFM to avoid "cross controlling" (out of trim flight) usually it only causes the rotor blade to get gouges on the bottom. So I can see that losing one flap could cause severe  flapping and who knows what kind of pilot input was made during the oh crap moment.
