At first I also thought that the skirts shouldn't have much effect on blowing over, since they are near the ground where the force should be smallest. But on second thought, maybe the wind which would normally go under now is forced upward and adds to the wind already pushing at the top?

On the other hand, I've seen a normal trailer get blown over with the tractor pulling it at 60 km/h (35mph)! Some things you just can't beat.
