If it was that dangerous, don't you think the boys at my local RV dealer would have told me to get a bigger truck? After I put a weight distribution hitch on the truck, they didn't see a problem with my set up and how I loaded it. I NEVER plan to load this trailer to the max. If you want to worry, you should have seen how I loaded my old 7k trailer. I'm many times safer with a 14k trailer. The only thing I would have saved by buying a 10K trailer is 300 pounds empty. Frankly, I think there is a lot of over reaction by a few.
My original issue was kicking, not stability. If you think about it, a 3100 pound trailer empty trailer, with series E tires inflated to 80 psi, heavy duty springs, is going to bounce like a basketball when it hits a bump. That is going to be the nature of this beast, not safety.
My dad pulled a 24 ft RV to Texas every winter with a 1975 Chrysler New Yorker. He over loaded his car and trailer. Did it with a reese distribution hitch too.
Perhaps you should react about people pulling RV's with cars and old people driving 44 ft motor home. Both scare me to a point I won't be close to one on the road.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
