Actually, the rotors are made of carbon fiber and they simply powder upon impact. No parts will enter the cabin or get flung an appreciable distance away.

Having seen broken carbon fiber sailboat masts, they didn't "powder". They come apart into steel hard strings and strands of fiber. A few thousand of those whipping around as things come apart could be......dangerous.

Good to know there won't be any big chunks though!
