Kind of.

I only ever once lost one file on FAT32 in Win98 in a crash, which
admittedly was a bit of a pain as it was the registry. I've often lost
files or had them corrupted on NTFS when the PC spontaneously rebooted
(e.g. due to a local power failure or a duff device driver). I was
particularly impressed when I left it downloading a two gigabyte file
overnight, the power went out at 9am, and scandisk gleefully went ahead
and deleted the two gigabyte file from the hard disk when it rebooted.

All NTFS guarantees is consistency of file information. It doesn't
guarantee that the files will still be there, or that the contents will
be correct. They could just rewrite scandisk to delete all files on the
disk and still meet that guarantee.

That said, running FAT32 today is pretty retarded.
