I'll probably get plenty of flack for even suggesting this, but I have to say that having watched the video and from just the visual assessment of this guy bending the iPad, Apple did a piss poor job of engineering this product for durability. I was curious, so I did a pressure test on my iPad Air for comparison, and its rigidity didn't even feel remotely compromised with what I would surmise was much more pressure than this iPad pro. Yes, it's a larger device, but that really should mean they make the product slightly thicker to account for the Achilles heel (those two holes) in the chassis' structural integrity. As I have read on many other websites, people (such as myself) who used to be devoted fans of Apple's impressive design and durability are becoming disenchanted with the corners that Apple is cutting in order to maximize profits while removing any post-purchase upgradability for the consumer. Before you all come down on my like a flock of hell beasts, let me just mention that I have owned multiple Apple devices over the years, but ever since I waited for the new MacBook Pro that turned out to be thoroughly underwhelming in specs and sporting zero upgradability in hard drive or ram while charging waaaay too much money, I have sworn off buying another Apple product UNTIL they begin making consumer friendly products again (if ever). I hope eventually Apple will realize that people care more about the integrity of their devices rather than trying to sell a 'professional' device by stacking as few sheets of paper next to the product as is physically possible. Function always wins over fashion for me.
