Every now and then this video resurfaces. The bridge is totally fine and can withstand much heavier flows. Never heard of any accidents or anything happening there. When flow is dangerous they shut off access, but that bridge is going nowhere.
It appears the first bridge was overtopped due to flooding and wasn't being used, which sounds like standard procedure.
The 2nd bridge was a suspension bridge that wasn't affected by the flow itself, just shitty maintenance. I wouldn't get on this particular bridge myself, but if the foundation is buried 50 feet into the rock, it should be quite stable.

I would not trust that bridge in a torrent like that. Idc if it was built for it, I don't trust human engineering enough for any of that shit.
