If you're doing wheelies and dont land ridiculously hard on the front or other more simple tricks the fork will hold up. Jumping and other tricks is pushing it, in my opinion. I broke a Concept fork exactly like the dude on pink deep vs above by blindly hitting a curb very late at night. I don't think a fork will just spontaneously break like that from one too many wheelies.
I wish there were a BFSSFG materials engineer.
