Just a quick question ... what are you going to use if your fixed blade heads have a similar incident?

I havent shot as many deer with a bow and arrow as some (around 50 or so) but I have shot enough to know that sometimes strange things happen. I have seen a 70lb Mathews Switchback pushing a 29" Carbon Express and a fixed 3 blade 100gr Muzzy stopped by a shoulder hit on a Whitetail ... And I have seen a 55lb Bear Whitetail Hunter pushing a 26" 2512 and a cheap NAP mechanical break one shoulder and a rib on a complete pass-through on a whitetail.

Not trying to imply that you should stick with mechanicals or any other piece of equipment ... just saying strange things happen. Personally in my limited experience with mechanical heads (switched 3 years ago) I am happy. I did choose the Rocky Ironhead XP specifically because of its design to eliminate glancing shots.
