If you actually let it crash that's fine, but a lot of people just toss a catch (Exception ex) in there because they don't know what exceptions will happen and don't want errors that aren't actually a big deal to bring the system down. But the issue with catching everything, even if you log before continuing, is that the process may be in a bad state and you're just continuing with it like that. I got to see a couple database tables get absolutely mangled by a process that had an exception that was caught and logged. That was a pain to clean up since doing nothing more than restoring a backup would have lost the entire day's worth of business operations in that system.
