I didn’t see the other question regarding collisions involving a standard 5th wheel hitch. The answer is yes, several, and no I have not seen a separation with the 5th wheel king pin connection. I have been doing this job for 24 years. I had the occasion to see a truck and 5’r jackknife, climb a rock face embankment 24’ then crash into itself on the way back down. The pin box and 5th wheel hitch were still in place and the remainder of the frame tore away from the pin box. This may be why the connection requires no safety chains and passengers can ride in the trailer with that connection but not the other. I get the ease of the Andersen but I can argue with my own experiences. So FWIW, THE 5th wheel king pin is as strong as it gets.
