Not to worry-- they've also safety-chained it to the raingutters.

I hope they've remembered to do equal numbers of CW and CCW turns, so they don't wind up their electric harness...

... or maybe there's a rotary electrical joint?

Can you imagine an air cooled VW towing that thing up a mountain? Or, just a small hill? If ever there was the need for an oil cooler...

That's a neat concept, though. Use a real hitch to attach it to a capable off road vehicle like a jeep with steering brakes and I bet you could get that to a lot of places no other trailer could reach.
