The upper bound on the weight of that bucket is 215 lbs and that's assuming it contains a solid block of magnetite. Not even gonna start on the condition of the rope.

That looks like a 5 gallon bucket? Assuming 4 gallons of solid metal, that's about 250lb for steel, 377 for lead, 450 for mercury (:unsmigghh:)

Concrete's 150pcf, or about 20 pounds per gallon. But don't worry, it's got a little core of neutronium weighing it down.

Everyone knows you need at least 400 lb for a secure anchor.

If you buried the bucket and left the loop above ground. You could chain something down easily.

The friction of the rope going over the edge is going to add a lot to how much weight it can hold up, but my question is: how is he going to get down?

That core shot rope probably isn't 100% either.

e: Oh I just saw the tail of the rope dangling. I guess he better rappel pretty steadily or momentum is going to take care of that friction thing pretty quick.

Well sure, but it's still only a 20L bucket. No matter what's in it, it's not going to be a proper substitute for a real anchoring system.

My brother used to work at a carbon plant and despite changing into tyvek suits on-site, his truck, back door and whole route to the shower looked like that.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

I once looked at buying a house that had a shower and little changing room in an outbuilding, you could walk from your car to the shower before unlocking your house and entering through a different door. It was weird but I imagine it was for something similar. There was a nice proper bathroom inside too so it wasn't just a case of #britishplumbing

This happens about once a week where I'm from. AFAIK the city never even pursues damage against the truckers because it's all so poorly run.

Not sure where you're from, but there's a chance that your bridge in particular has some sort of guard in front of it, like the internet's favorite bridge, 11'8":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0BJmC6u7MU
Keeps the bridge itself from getting damaged by stopping trucks moving slow enough, or ripping the tops off of trucks going to fast.

That one, though, did some real damage to the bridge itself, and it shut down 2 highways for hours, with one of them likely for weeks, if not months. There's no way they're not pursuing damages on this one.
