That doesn't look like fun to me. Rolling logs under isn't easy as it sounds. Especially if there are limb stubs. Then there would be the buildup of bark, dirt, and splitoffs under. You'd have to clear that frequently with your hands. Then also you'd have to throw the fresh splits from under the beam, meaning picking each one up. Clearing a jam wouldn't be fun. You can't see what's happening as you can from above.
With a very big log normally I let one split fall on my side while keeping the other on the bed to split smaller. saves having to walk around the splitter to pick up the second split. But with the upside down bed, I guess you'd have to pull both out. You'd really be stooped for everything. About the only place this would work at all seems to be on that polished cement floor in the picture. Impossible on a hill in grass. Just all around inconvenient in every way I can think of!
