There have been several similar incidents to Villeneuve's accident since then but thankfully due to safer and stronger cars no fatalities or terrible injuries (other than to Pironi) have happened.
Lewis is a hard racer and that's good in my book but i have more of an issue with the way he has started a few GPs this season, his weaving when Fernando was very close to him was the scariest for me but the chop at Silverstone was expected and not bad imo, as long as he doesn't take anyone out i doubt there will be any words by the FIA against him yet.
