Thin flexible multilayer PCBs are available since the seventies. Applied in
most NATO jets circuitry. Allow for 90° bends. Mylar I think. Not sure about
180° folding them (from international aerospace exhibitions visits, like
Farnborough and Le Bourget).

So I wonder if flex ones crack too.

I'm more worried about boards cracking, solder joints between chips / SMT
components and the board cracking, etc.

Back in the early 70s part of the testing protocol was to spin bonded
chips at 10,000 g upside down to test that the bonding wires didn't
come off.
