I don't see why, megadunderhead. They wanted exactly the vivid test-to-destruction any 4-year-old really knows how to dish out. And it's great PR, so why risk potentially ruining it by not playing completely by the stated rules? I don't see the advantage to Volvo in doing so in any way; the total cost was pretty much in line with the production of a 30-second prime time commercial spot, after all.

The moment where she rolls the truck and looks back to see if everything's still OK, and the observers are like, "And?" is hilarious.
