physics question

TV is on in background. I looked up and there was that beer commercial where they didn’t use corn syrup or whatever...

Scene in commercial was a huge barrel and few people pushing it up hill. Barrel is so big, it seems impossible for people to roll it over to go up so if I were to do this in real life without CGI or shenanigans, I would probably place a small car inside barrel and drive it forward. As the front of the car drove up on the higher part of the side of barrel, barrel would lower that part and roll forward...

What I am curious about though is besides the obvious problems of steering, would jerky motion cause the barrel to jerk back and roll backwards essentially killing everything in its path?
