A fan assembly for an engine has a fan blade, a disk having a disk segment, a trunnion mechanism having a trunnion extending at least partially through the disk segment, and first and second attachment systems. The trunnion has a platform and a shaft. The fan blade is adjacent to the platform of the trunnion. The trunnion is attached to the disk segment using the first attachment system along a preload path. The first and second attachment systems further include first and second retention features, respectively, separate from the preload path. During normal operation of the fan assembly, the first attachment system retains the trunnion within the disk along a first load path. Upon a failure in the trunnion, the first and second retention features together retain the trunnion within the disk segment along a second load path, the first load path being different than the second load path.
