I was always told that the engine on a prop plane would probably get
ripped out of the mounts if a prop lost a blade so I don't think it
is good on any engine!


I think it's clear that it does happen, but it is also true that many
engines lose prop blades, and the engine stays with the airplane.
I'll bet many more stay, than depart.



Not so sure. Most I've heard of either had the engine depart completely or
be left supported by the cowling or plumbing..
