If a normal sized person can sit in it, as this person clearly is, then

He must have had them all there, or the schach would have fallen down.

The carts themselves would be heavy enough for that.  Also, in that
spot, sheltered on at least one side by the terminal building, a ruach
metzuya would be fairly weak.
