Things that are a little flexible, that can bend and move under some pressure, tend to survive better and longer. This idea is even built in to sky scrapers, bridges and other large structures. The things that tend to break more easily are things that are very brittle. A fresh, crispy potato chip is brittle. Glass tends to be brittle, although very large pieces do have some 'bend'.
The saying really implies that the same is true for people. People who are brittle in their ways or in their personalities are often less able to handle a lot of pressure. People who can be flexible and bend a little under pressure are more likely to withstand the pressure.
