It's dangerous because if he was driving down the motorway at 70mph and the tennis balls were to spring out he's most likely lose control of the car.

Ask yourself why using tennis balls in the place of a spring is dangerous.

Genius.

What if he was to go over a crest in the road at a slightly high speed and the suspension decompressed?

It's still in the place of a spring though, as the spring was fucked.
