Well, I have seen trailer accidents on the Interstate and often thought it would have been better for the trailer to have broken free. When something occurs causing the primary hitch to fail.....for whatever reason, mechanical, human, road conditions.....the trailer then becomes a giant tail wagging the dog attached by chains. Generally the tow vehicle gets yanked all over..in and out of the lanes being shared by other vehicles...which generally results in a jackknife of tow vehicle and trailer and flying debris going everywhere. The poor folks (call them idiots or whatever you choose) in the tow vehicle are at the mercy of those damnable 'safety' chains and I cannot see as how the public is any safer. Let the trailer go, it'll stop probably as soon as if it would while destroying and maybe killing the passengers in the tow vehicle....and may not kill ANYBODY while in free flight. Just my opinion.
