LEGO is pretty tough, i would guess the only bits that might break are
antennas and really thin pieces. The standard brick is pretty tough.
Of course bits of wreckage might spread over a 300 sq. studs area, but ResQ
will be called in to mop up the mess. :-)

Well it's been 1 year since I wrote the message below.  I have yet to
crash this helicopter out of pure laziness.   The SEALs have completed
several missions and the pilots of the UH-60 (lego) Blackhawk are
now feeling safe that their craft is safe and reliable.

Well I have moved.  I'm now living in a two story house and the
stair case is now affording me the opportunity to load up the
seal team, and crew and send them to their death.  Hurdling them
down the stairs to the landing.

The impact surface is tile.  Hard but smooth - not as brutal
as a concrete impact.

I think if a few pieces break, well they break.  Money can
replace most material items in this world right?

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
