Do All iPads crash Apple's own site on iOS 7?

No problems for me with the apple site at all. I've actually apparently escaped this safari issue. Just doesn't happen to my 32 GB cellular model. Had it for a few months now running the latest OS.
Me don't get it.
Me don't get it.
Here is a video I recorded of my ipad mini retina crashing on the site when I double tap to zoom in on the page.

I am on ios version 7.0.4
For those of you on 64bit ios and not crashing, what is the secret? Why is this happening to me and not everyone?

This vid that you uploaded is what I expected. It seems for most people, the site will load without crashing (some seem to crash immediately while loading).
The bigger issue seems to be trying to zoom in/double tap/scrolling once the page loads completely. Also for some depends on portrait or landscape mode. Still, 40% of those voting saying it did crash is terrible on Apple's part.
I remember Steve Jobs being opposed to Flash Player on iOS because it hogs RAM and CPU which is true (also would lower revenue for some paid App Store Apps) of course. Now though, it seems JavaScript/Webkit/HTML is just as guilty using lot's of RAM on iOS.
I don't micromanage them, I did offer a possible solution to the OP's issue and how is that micromanaging them. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to clear cache/history in using my iPad
Crashes every single time on my 5s, iPad Air, and Mini Retina In fact, the first time I opened it on my rMini, the whole thing rebooted itself. All with nothing else opened other than the iPhone 5s features page. On the rMini, it continued to crash Safari after the spontaneous reboot.
Tried it on my daughter's first gen Mini, no crash. Determined to make it crash, I opened a new tab and navigated to the rMini features page on the Apple site. No crash. In fact it kept the 5s features page without reloading.
All on iOS 7.0.4.

I'm guessing that most folks who are saying theirs does not crash, are not exercising the double tap, pinch zoom, scrolling vigorously.
I can get mine to crash every time. If I baby it, and SLOWLY perform these tasks, it doesn't crash, but if I actually use it like it's supposed to be the "Best browser experience in the world", then BOOM

Finally I manage to get a crash on my iPad 2 after a double tap. But it is very difficult (its very hard to repeat).

Double tap, pinch and zoom seem to work just fine, but scrolling too fast does crash Safari for me. Also, scrolling is lagging quite a bit even when I scroll slowly.
This. I have a rMini and it crashes in portrait. Loads fine and scrolls fine in landscape but as soon as I turn to portrait, safari crashes.
