The purpose is to push the swiss roll beyond breaking point, in order to establish where said breaking point lies.
It is probable that they have gradually increased the incline over time, and are pictured in the final phase of the testing.

and the application of Monte Carlo simulation... I propose that we seek funding to end this horrendous cake wastage!

If so then I would support this proposal. However, the consequences if the technology is not reliable could be dire. I, for one, believe that an overall reduction in the quality of swiss rolls is a worse consequence than to waste a few.
