I think it's a good thing that the chassis is being displayed as it does show F1 in a very positive light.
To those of us 'believers' (OK, 'enthusiasts') it is an excellent example of how (relatively) safe the cars have become. We all saw the spectacular accident and know that the driver managed to get out of the car alive, which is something that didn't happen not that many years ago. (It also serves as a useful example of why F1 cars are getting bigger & heavier - see the other discussion thread in this forum).
To the more 'casual' fan/observer, they will have had the 'wow factor' of seeing the accident (and may have watched in many times for that reason). Knowing again that the driver managed to get out of this wreck alive has got to be a good thing for them.
I suppose it's like looking at the results of any accident (train/car/plane crash for example) and knowing that no-one died does have a certain feel-good factor to it (as opposed to the mawkish behaviour of 'some' people who appear to take pleasure of looking at things that didn't have such a pleasant outcome).
