Overs peeding rotors?

[dabkb2]

I read here on another thread about over speeding rotors, Is there any danger in this?

Dave,

I am no expert but my understanding is that rotor speed on a gyro is automatic and is related to weight/"G".

Increased "G" ( IE in a turn ) artificially increases the weight of the gyro and the rotors will speed up to support the extra weight.

You will not be able to pull hard enough or long enough to damage the rotors with overspeed.

That is my understanding, I am sure Birdy or someone else will correct me if I am wrong.
