No hitch should fail when brake away is activated by accident, if the hitch is that poorly designed to allow the front corner to lift it's nothing I would want in my truck period.

Well it sure appears that this one did! The wide frame is held down in the center so extreme forces will occur at the frame base. A minor rearending of another vehicle would most likely have it collapse forward in a similar fashion. If Andersen replaces it under warranty it might not be that big of a deal, and may in fact protect the trailer from additional damage. Sort a like a crumple zone.
