Sadly not from an RPG book, but from the advanced rules book for the board game for Battletech/Mechwarrior, they describe helicoptors which fail their control rolls and impact terrain features as engaging in "deconstructive lithobraking." Not in the fluff, that's the actual rules terms. Similarly from the forums over there, they have a quote regarding a PBI who survived a near miss from a Gauss Rifle (firing a hyper sonic ferro-nickel slug) "It just missed you, you are now deaf... and airborne."
