Well if you literally measure "across the bridge" you'll be grounding one rail!

That's corrent when using a scope, but even so unless there is something misswired or shorted in the transformer you still shouldn't be burning the bridge rectifer up.

Now if you have the center tap of the secondary grounded and try to measure from rail to rail with a scope, that would toast the bridge.
