A fan clutch would have kept the gusts from creating too steep of an acceleration ramp and an absolute maximum velocity.

The blade's failure occured close to the axis of rotation. This is where the concentration of stress was highest. It is most likely that a sudden gust of wind accelerated the outer portion of the blade
leaving the portion of the blade closest to axis of rotation to catch up....the stress increased beyond the design and boom! Failure.

And what proof do you provide of the contrary? NONE, this WAS NOT A TEST, it was a failure of the braking system, the brakes failed, the prop over rotated and centripetal forces tore it apart, that simple, it was caught on camera by an intelligent being that saw it was spinning to fast and figured it would fail. He decided he would try to record it as it failed. Thats what actually happened, if you were intelligent enough to do your own research instead of speculating you would know that.
