I know what's wrong with you every day Larry.
A LOT!!!

My guess is that the target will not flip over the top of the stand. I say that the momentum of the steel will cause the stand itself to flip over backwards unless its staked or weighted. 
I kicked it as hard as I could on the concrete in the garage. it is definitely sturdy enough. Barely moved. It is solid.
I kicked the crap out of that thing several times and it just bounces around. The frame hardly moved. I even had my steel toed boots on!
I've got confidence it will work. your setup looks good. I want to see the video
Years ago, I came by some 1" 1018 steel plate. 4'X6'.
Thinking It would make a great backstop and knowing what a 90 degree shot will do to one, I mounted it on 2" pipe at a 45 degree angle, thinking the bullets will just deflect into the ground. We put it behind a pond dam so we had a good backstop.
The 45 degree theory worked for rimfire, pistol, and mz, but any high velocity centerfire from .243 up, didn't recognize the angle. It just plowed in.
A friend took a .300 win mag with 200gr, and it hit so hard it put a bulge on the back of the plate.
We used chain like your using with hanging 1" plates, and it worked really well. Didn't swing the plates much, and as soon as the plate got beat up, we just added another plate.
The hardware store chains took the worst beating with bullet splatter.
We had a jib crane at work that went up in smoke, so I salvaged that high strength chain, and fixed that problem.
that AR500 plate isn't cheap.
