While this might be a silly question I am looking for suggestions on how to
crash a fairly large lego model (Helicopter) on a ground surface while
minimizing the risk of breaking pieces.

The goal here is to crash my UH-60 http://www.netpresonic.com/lego/ with full
crew and attached SEAL team and then photo document the wreckage.

These men will die, but for a good cause -- to improve safety features of the
UH-60.

Wow, that's a very impressive helicopter.

As far as crashing it without breaking anything, could you remove the main
rotor first, that's probably the most vulnerable?

Well actually the blades are really light + flexible and it's connected by only
2 studs.  That part will come off quickly and since it's at the top of the
craft (assuming a belly or nose impact) should fly off almost intact.
