5th wheel popped out of hitch
Made a right turn on a high with high incline pulling out slowly. Trailer pops out of hitch drops on trailer. Main question. We have a 16k Reese hitch. There are four washers on the handle bar next...

Funny, I've had the same Reese 15k for almost 20 years and never a problem.
If the latch isn't down and secured, a turn "can" walk the jaws open and release the trailer.
Folks who hitch up with the handle held in the open position are more likely to get distracted and drive off with the handle in the open position. Then the trailer drops onto the bed rails.
High hitched is a possibility as well.
The Reese two jaw hitch is one of the best and most popular on the market. Probably why there are more reports of user error than other heavy, over priced, bulky, downright ugly, less popular gimmick hitches.
