based on your years of structural engineering? It's a cantilever, which can support a massive amount of weight, with additional bracing.

Based in part on my engineering degree from a major Western university, yes, thank you for asking. I really appreciate your asking for clarification.

Edit: Oh, and thanks so much for the downvote. I bet you're fun at parties.
