There is no reason for this prop boulder to weigh 400 pounds. Paper mache, hollow plastic or maybe fiberglass, ~~or inflatable~~ would have worked just fine.
This is just a bad take. It literally is a hollow inflatable already.
I'm surprised they didn't just design some magnetic roller system to couple the ball to the ramp and stop it if necessary. It really would have cost less than this person's compensation, most likely.
A handful of small metal balls inside it and a magnet at its holding spot is all it would need id imagine
