What about the Oly which clapped its wings as a result of an overspeed

The accident report put the cause as severe corrosion of the spar end
metal fittings.

Certainly a factor, but if it hadn't oversped (overspeeded?) on
launch, it wouldn't have failed. Well, not then, anyway.

I knew of a Ka6 which pushed over so violently after a cable break
that it landed afterwards - for the last time - with significant
anhedral. OK, nothing to do with overspeeding, but a salutory tale
illustrating something or other.
