Just an update now that competition is over... We hung a rather large number of times during competition, and between all of that, we only broke 1 rod, and it was under rather exceptional circumstances (we got bumped and off center trying to hang, resulting in some extreme angles on a rod on one side). I would say this is a strong indication that, while they can break, they don't break easily if you properly design their range of motion
