Is this to simulate the balloons used to land a rover on Mars?

Smart, yes

Seems like a good idea.

Seems like a good idea.

It can prevent the "fall" on steep slopes, if you land on the steep slopes, the lander will help you "roll" to the area which is flat, and the shell will deploy the lander so I think it will be a good idea

I think this can demonstrate the landing of Mars Pathfinder(Not you Mars Pathfinder, it is the actual Mars Pathfinder)
