Do crashes only happen under MAC OS?

Probably not, but only the MAC OS troubleshooting forum has an announcement as to what to do if VLC crashes.

(Perhaps if it was on all the forums, you'd get more bug reports instead of just complaints...)

VLC can crash on any platform - its the nature of the beast. I added the one in the MacOS X forum, because that is the platform I am familiar with, and I felt it important to get users to communicate the right information, where possible.

If you want to adapt the instructions for another platform feel free to do so. I am not familiar with what the equivalents are for Linux or Windows, and what would be useful for the developers in this context.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.
