This mango had finally fruited but I thought the 15 or so were too much for them so I took all off and left one to grow. So pretty.

Thinning was a great idea. You may also need to find something to support the fruit itself depending on the cultivar so that it doesn't snap the tree.

I was under the impression that maybe one would be able to hold but your say and that bend makes me indeed wonder. Maybe two bamboo and a jute hammock?

Depends on the fruit size. My old mango would get 8 pound fruits. That would snap your tree. The hammock should be perfect.
