How much weight can the rear bumper of a stock black diamond handle?
Ken two adults stand on either corner at the same time?

Well, it's kind of a "play it safe" situation. Technically, the bumper might hold up two adults for a bit without breaking right away, but it's not something I'd recommend. Doing that could end up bending or damaging the bumper, especially if you keep doing it or if the car's already seen its fair share of wear and tear.

Maybe not two Kens but probably two Barbies

I think I hate myself for making that joke

Yeah I think your fine. I've stood on the corner of mine. Not sure why it would matter if someone was also standing on the other side. For reference I'm about 175lbs.

Of course I'm no Ken. More of a GI-Joe. 😉

It’s steel so of course it can handle the weight.
It even has traction tread molded into the top of it. I’m sure it was designed that way so you can access a roof rack.

I mentioned "on the other side" because it may double the weight on the bumper

Some say it’s fine and you say be careful. There are treads at the corners so I was curious if two people are up on the corners how much weight is ok

Well, you always have to be careful. But if you know what you are doing, then why not?
