I received a bug report that this website crashes when viewed on iOS 6.1, though I guess it's the browser version that comes with iOS 6.1 that's more relevant than the OS itself. I don't own any iOS devices, so I'm not sure how I can reproduce/investigate the issue.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I might reproduce this issue on Windows/Ubunutu? I tried http://www.browserstack.com/ but the latest version they offer is iOS 6.0.
In the unlikely event that anyone has an idea why the crash is happening, please let me know. There is an embedded YouTube video on the homepage, and I've heard that flash and iOS are uneasy bedfellows, so I'm wondering if this could be the cause?

Safari accumulates caches, browsing history, cookies, and other data in the iPhone or iPad. Sometimes that data can interfere with app functionality, so clearing it out can be a remedy to problems with the app crashing or stalling on some web sites.
There are a few different ways of how a website can crash, including code error, plugin problems, and expired domain, among others. A website is the window of the business. It's how a company communicates with clients. So every second the site is not operational, the business is experiencing missed opportunities.
I was able to reproduce the issue, and get this info from the console logs:

... followed by lots of memory warnings.
Your website is causing a memory leak, so iOS is shutting Safari down. Looks like you'll have to follow these instructions to debug it.
There isn't much you can do to try to reproduce it in Windows. The only option is to download Safari 5 for Windows, which might produce similar errors.
However, this doesn't use the same build of WebKit as Mobile Safari (Safari for Windows is much older) so you'll probably need to borrow a friend's Mac and follow along:
Get Xcode
If you don't already have it, download Xcode from the Mac App Store.
Make a blank project
File -> New Project. Select Single View application (or any other iOS application, it doesn't matter). Press Next. Pick any project name (doesn't matter). Press next, then specify some location, and press Create.
Run the project
Press the play button in the upper left corner, or press Command-R, or select Run from the Product menu.
The app should launch in the simulator.
Switch to Safari
Press the home button (or command-shift-H). Then tap Safari, and navigate to your website.
Open up Terminal, and run tail -f /var/log/system.log | egrep 'MobileSafari'. This will show you all of Mobile Safari's logs. (You can remove the egrep to see all logs, in case the crash is outside of Safari.)
I was unable to make iOS or Safari crash on your site, but you'll need to do so to debug the issue.
Switch back to Terminal and review the logs for info about what might have caused the crash.
