Yup. The western white pine is exactly the same. Hinge fine for felling, but never trust a branch.

Well, the op question was regarding hinging qualities. If asked for a wider view, I would have offered that while the trunk of larch hinges well, the branches are very brittle.

We don't have redwood here, except for some off-site plantings in towns or farmsteads. I've never cut one. Western redcedar hinges okay, any that I've cut.

Western larch always seemed to hinge well in my experience. Off the top of my head I can't think of a conifer that is particularly brittle. Not to say there are not any. Maybe redwood? I will await other input with interest.
