To be honest, when I was very young, there was always the thrill something unexpected might happen on TV, and crashes were part of that. But this has quickly faded. I only dimly remember the Bianchi incident, at the time watching I didn't think too much of it. The Grosjean incident though was really something, and I got similar vibes a few weeks ago with the Schumacher (Mick) incident where he wasn't shown for a short time

The Bianchi incident was so odd and I've only (accidentally) saw one video of it since as far as I know, no broadcast camera captured the incident. But F1 learned and red flags seem more common now and they don't race with reduced visibility.

Agreed about Mick as well, its always terrible when they don't show replays for a while. But I also think that fact alone contradicts the OP, they won't broadcast a serious crash.
