Do you think this will be ok for say a 50 mile round trip? Can’t find the detachable.

Yes of course it'll be okay. If you need a bit more height on the hitch too, you can always remove the towball, turn the chunk of tree wood over and refit the ball.
I wouldn't even bother to fit the breakaway cable to absolutely ensure a spectacular disaster
I'm guessing this was spotted in America?

If it’s in America I wouldn’t be so sure it’s a send up. They do things differently in cowboy country.

The inherent resilience of or wood over metal would act as shock absorber, but it will have a lower breaking strength than a cast or forged or rolled iron or steel.
I couldn't see a CE or E mark on it, so it might not be approvable in the EU or UK

Not does it look as if it has the new U.K. safety mark intended to supersede the CE/E mark. Never seen one yet.The inherent resilience of or wood over metal would act as shock absorber, but it will have a lower breaking strength than a cast or forged or rolled iron or steel.

Because the CE system is established, is well understood and has been running for a good while. Ours is new and isn’t really up and running and at present the standards tend to be carried over from the EU standards as underpinning CE. But when UKCA was first mooted companies were going to be required to have separate certification and conformity testing even though the items already met CE. If that’s not additional cost and delay brought in by bureaucracy I don’t know what is. Of course until our standards change it could always be a rubber stamp excercise. But if you sell into the EU CE will still be obligatory. And companies selling into U.K. will need UKCA if the system works as originally intended.
Yes, it's a bit tricky to transcend from being in, to being out. There have always been different standards and approval procedure around the world. America, UK, Japan, China, EU and many more. Lots of standards are merged into BS,/EU./ISO.
