I give the credit to journaling. If a file is encrypted, I've read that I could lose it. A power interruption could cause heads to crash, but maybe modern disks are designed to reduce the possibility. I don't have my Mac set to restart automatically because I'm afraid of what could happen if the power flickers shortly after coming back on. I've read that flickering can be more dangerous than a simple interruption.
