A bad day
Pulled into the campground today. When we were doing so this happened. Guy said when he was setting up on his site, he noticed the trailer was tilted. Tried to put truck back under when it fell. Fortu...

My two cents here. You can see two orange legos on the ground where the landing gear should have been and in another picture you can clearly see one of the landing gears laying on the ground. Op said gear was down as owner pull out and noticed unlevel front and attempted to pull back under. Luckily he was not under it setting the pins when it fell. Looks like a failure of the gear not owners fault.
With the tailgate closed? Both landing gears failed at the same time. Possible, but highly unlikely. I think there is a lot more to this story. rockin'
What makes you think the tailgate was closed. It sure looks like it was open. The way I read it was they were set up and pulled out only to notice it was leaning/coming down and tried to back under it to save it. Now, why it failed is still a mystery. You would think the OP would have spoke with them and have some sort of insight to add.
Also, if one side failed you have a lot of weight suddenly shifted to the other leg, that might explain why the right hand leg is lying in the grass several feet away. Would love to know the whole story.
I see what you are saying.....the tailgate was probably down. My bad! rockin'
