That video is an advertisement designed to show you what the manufacturer wants to show. It doesn't account for dynamic loading and tests only in compression and no forces other than in the X axis. IOW's, the video doesn't show typical loading that would occur while towing. While I haven't been involved in testing the Anderson I have done so with other hitches. The tests involve adding an XYZ 3+ axis force transducer to the ball and monitor forces in at least 3 axis while towing. Not saying the Anderson isn't a perfectly fine hitch but the video doesn't provide much information in my opinion.
