Downhill, with a heavy load, and then the chain comes off ...

Three or four years ago, I came across a guy in Moab, Utah using one of
those to ferry two (maybe three?) young kids to a birthday party. He'd
fitted it out with cushions and a sun shade. The kids seemed to be
having a great time. But yes, the neighborhood was dead flat, and I'm
sure he wasn't going far.

I like the built in parachute, which should be handy if one drives off
a cliff.

Looks like the Lucky Dog guy's cart in the French Quarter.

There's room up front for a motor. And a dorm fridge.

Has been scientifically tested :-)

Though oversized drogue chutes have been used on bikes to reduce the
chance of a brake overheat:

Interesting!

And of course, it makes you more conspicuous, so you're safer.
Everybody should have one. ;-)

Considering all the stories I heard about brake fatigue issues from
tandem riders on heavily loaded bikes it might really be practical.

Just imagine the reaction of car drivers when suddenly ... PHOOOF ..
*THWOCK* ... out comes a brake parachute. Probably not a good idea to
pop that when a car is too close.
