The website notes (In diagrams and pictures, not the movie) that these can be buried below grade to mitigate flying big spinny objects. The big spinny thing also lives in a vacuum and rests on magnetic bearings to reduce friction.

The enclosure they put it in seems to have pretty thick walls, but one can't tell if the walls are thick enough to contain the parts if the big spinny thing decides to explosively disassociate.

It would have been nice to hear what the thing sounds like during the initial spin-up and in normal operation.
