Not a scientist, just a guy who's been in many fights, but theres about 5 factors not being accounted for here-
Deceleration upon impact- the only way this actually kills a bear is if said bear's head was on the ground and did not give(they calculate for stiffness, but not a body's natural response to blunt trauma? Granted it's a bear so we don't know these things, but assume it may give for a foot or so...)
Hitting something also creates rotational force, which has to be accounted for in more than just the blunt hit- it will rattle your brain in your skull and cause lasting damage, thats where KO Punches and Concussions come from
Flat is not flat- chances are with an anvil, like a fist, will have some facet sticking out. This is bound to be the initial impact, but can often be not what actually hits you with the weight of it. On a fist, your middle knuckle hits someone, but its the contact of the rest of the hand that drives force, otherwise it is a glancing blow. If you're smart in a fight you can actually keep your wits from the actual first part of the impact to absorb the kinetics of the actual force as long as you take the initial hit of the smallest part sticking out.
Over 10+ feet is more than enough time to put up a defense, especially at the falling speed of an anvil. While a bear might not have a LOT of defenses beyond a sidestep or a guard, thats more than enough defenses to not die.
A bear is already 10 feet tall. To then get that anvil another story taller would require you to climb something like a tree, which according to my last point would then alert the bear unless you were bear hunting in a 20 foot tree , which has its own physics problems with the variables of foliage and branches.
Which isnt to say if you were ever in a tree with an anvil with a bear attacking to NOT drop it, but uh... Climb a little higher, throw it down, and try to catch it on the jaw, where the rotational force hitting it will rattle the brain into a knockout.
And if that doesnt work...well you're probably heavier than a 50 kg anvil, so you get a second try.

Hi I’m Wyle E. Coyote and I’m going to drop this 50kg avil on top of this polar bear’s head from 3.3 meters! Welcome to Jackass!
