Safety Chains Andersen Hitch
I have ordered the Andersen Hitch after reading the responses to my earlier question posted here about the hitch. Now I am wondering how necessary are the safety chains that are now sold as an option...

I guess if you have traveled some of the roads I have you would not have posted that!
I would think any bump that could buck off my 1,890# pin box from my Andersen ball would also pin me to the ceiling quite handily.
If you are so confident with your relatively small pin weigh not coming off don't bother to latch it! :R
You and I both know that would be utter foolishness and probably criminal negligence. My puny pin weight was cited for being exactly that - puny! And I'm quite confident that if I hit something that had enough force to bounce the block off the ball against that puny <2k lbs, losing my trailer would probably be the least of my worries.
