In a cider press, not many seeds are apt to break.  It's more likely with a juicer, where the grapes are being ground.  
You can get many of the benefits of grape seed in different ways.  One is to clean the seed and dry it, then powder it in a small coffee mill.  The grape seed powder can be added to other foods or even eaten straight.

How hard would we have to hit grape seeds to make them crack in the press?
Why shouldn't we crack the grapes in the press?
Much has been made of the value of grapeseed oil and the extract made from 
the seeds.  Can't we obtain these values for ourselves by cracking the grape 
seeds in our own extractions?
