Jumping your bike off a 3 foot drop will easily place 8 to 10 or more times as much force into both the frame and fork than what that guy did to it in the stand.
This definetly equates to worrying about a tempest in a tea pot compared to what your bike is asked to soak up on any trail ride even without a 3 foot jump.
