For instance if you mount a USB under FreeBSD and remove it without unmounting, then reinsert the USB flash drive, FreeBSD hangs. If I do the same under debian it's fine. I really like FreeBSD for it's package system, security and stability, but it is annoying if you forget to unmount and it hangs your machine. I know that you should always unmount but if you don't it shouldn't crash the system, is there anyway to fix this?

You are encountering weird issues. I've removed drives unsafely only to replug them seconds later on my FreeBSD box, with no issues at all.
