why would you walk on the bonnet
not easier to sit inside the vehicle?

Well, when the roofrack is loaded then walking on the bonnet to reach just makes life a hundred times easier!Disco 4 SDV6 HSE with Compomotives, BFG 265/65R18s, BigCountry drawer system, Melvill & Moon covers, NL 52L fridge, FR Spare Wheel Carrier, FR Roof Rack, Tenco RTT, FR 50" LED Bar, dual spots, Lift Rods, Mantec Snorkel, C-TEK Dual batt system, 270 Ostrichwing, Maxtrax, Icom ID-5100, Icom ID-51 as secondary, IIDtool BT

I don't think that there's enough clearance under the bonnet to add enough strengthening, which it would need to stop it denting under the weight.
What about a wheel step? Not really the same as standing on the bonnet, but it helps. Something like this:
