If you look really closely at the far wing tip you will see that the sandbags do not in fact touch this seems likely for the near tip as well, the gap is simply obscured.. they seem to be there to help keep the test subject manageably level while being loaded, or to maybe catch something before it hits the ground when it breaks.

Are not wings loaded more like a cantilever beam and as such take less of a load to fail them?
