Or better - save game and then crash gracefully.
That can result in saving a corrupted game state, which then will not
load, or worse, load and then cause another crash.
I would suggest instead implementing an auto-save feature which
automatically saves the game state at regular intervals.
Even in my old D1 3D editor I implemented auto-saving because it was
hard to recover from internal errors and I decided to log-and-crash. And
it still works perfectly, user can loose at most a minute of work!
I'd like every program to do the same thing. More that that, my
favourite game (Windows XP SP3) sometimes fails to start (you know,
"system32\config\<reg file> is corrupted" error) and I have to launch my
restore script and almost every time the last restore point is broken
(and its creation time is often a few hours before last shut down)!
So trying to save after and program logic error is definitely a mistake.
