I believe it's sponsored by Cuisinart. 

While it won't go that fast on the salt, afterwards they are going attempt the Guinness Record for the world's largest salad.

Imagine having a beer or two and walking into that spinning prop.  That could wake a fellow up.

Should have put a variable pitch on it.  Thrust reversal.

Seriously, I hope he has consulted some aero guys to see at what speed it's going to lose control.  Torque steer is going to be intense.  He should have put a rudder on it.

So I don't insult our Jewish friends, I will not make a joke about the real purpose of Hitler's "People's Car" with a big spinning blade on it.

If that thing showed up on the Salt, I think it wouldn't make it past the bend in the road before failing tech.

Yea, I agree.  It would be entertaining to watch.  From a distance.  Behind something solid.
