In the same vein, attach some weight lifting weights to the pole to represent your equipment, plus ice & snow, then mount the pole on something sturdy (at ground level), then pull hard on its top with a rope to mimic a strong wind. See what happens (be out of the way if anything breaks loose).
For the weight and wind loadng test, if you can attach the pole to something at ground level using the same brackets you want to use to lock it in place up in the air, even better. See how they hold up when you abuse them.
