Interesting that the bridge failed in a lateral torsional buckling of the whole member. You obviously made sure that the connections were not the weak point of the design, which is good, but it does seem like you used quite a bit of Popsicle sticks for your design. I like how you stop localized buckling by constraining many of the members mid way through the use of out of plane braces. Smart. Of course the failure mode was caused by the sudden application of impact force, which is 2.5X weight.
how much could it take

Hot glue and regular Elmer's glue. Hot glue works better.
