i cant fully explain the rope / bungee cord thing... but i know the steering wheel serves no function in flight.

Does it serve a function in landing? I thought that maybe it was there to keep the wheel from turning as wind resistance might turn the tires, making for an unpleasant and probably upside-down landing. The way I see it, if they did have a mechanism that could disconnect the steering wheel from the front axles, why not just put a locking mechanism in place?
I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything, I'm just wondering.
