Well first, there is a delay in broadcasts for the most part, and a lot of
this stuff never makes it to air - someone swaps out that camera for
another one shooting the event from a different angle/location.
In the 70's and 80's you didn't have that nearly as much.
I remember the 1984(?) US Open in tennis - Carling Bassett when sliding to return a
shot from the baseline corner and she was running, sliding, trying to stop, and as spread-eagle as
you could get without falling down.
At the end of her slide she fell forward and caught herself with her hands to keep herself
from falling forward, but there was a camera shooting this from behind her at ground
level, and the view - I choked and almost wet my pants, you could see it all!
There was also a TV show called Melrose Place, and Heather Locklear was in a
microskirt sitting on a couch, she spread her knees to get up and the view was
ungodly, but that was only seen ONCE, because in subsequent reruns that view
was edited out.
The last few years has yielded a few really nice angles of some USC cheerleaders,
but even those are pretty tame today.
