@edsnova, the strength of the tube is mostly in the top and bottom.  The sides hold the top and bottom apart and the strength varies with the distance they are apart.

If you look at an I-beam, the top and bottom flanges are thick and the web that holds them apart is thin.

Tube and I beam is not the same. Put a 2 x 4 box beam with the long side flat and  support the ends. Now step on the middle. Tell me what happens. Now stand that beam up and do the same.
