    Yeah, but the weights are not suspended above the ground. They’re sitting on the ground. Why should I believe it won’t bend more or even break?

      It really only shows that it didn’t fail (YET), like the other material did, you can see the other rod bent and one side slid off the platform. There are a lot of ways of measuring materials. This is a valid comparison between the two materials but isn’t intended to demonstrate that it can hold all of that weight without failing.
