ESPN has become a very big company by highlighting this aspect of sports for over twenty five years. Watch sports center and you will see some of the most painful hits in football/hockey, crashes in racing, and similar types of clips from other sports.
In Philly, our radio broadcasting crew for the Eagles have the "Matt Slapp Splat of the day" for each game. It is a promo for a local car dealer that highlights the best "hit" on the field that day.

I guess, you know I like the cars and all...but the truth is, man. A crash is what a lot of fans look forwarded to.
