A few(?) years ago - another owner of a SG hitch had a 45 degree problem -as I recall on exiting a gas station?.
He had tried to back up which somehow created the failure.
There was an extensive discussion (LOTS of posts) -AND- he took LOTS
of pictures!
You might try a search of the archives (over a year old) for that thread - or someone else here may undertake that chore -OR- recall the thread title..:@
BTW - another satisfied SG owner.....but also a believer in "Murphy"..:W

ON EDIT:
Found my own reference to that thread from 2009.
Unfortunately, the pictures have all been deleted as they (probably) were all part of a link to the posters Picasa (or other) account.
However, there is *extensive* discussion from posters who viewed the pics.
It should be noted - this was a SG from *before* the coated way tubes,
which required lubrication with either white lithium grease or Slip Plate.
SuperGlide Hitch Failure - Thread from 2009
.
And more.....Edit/edit:
Apparently "OCDUNE" is no longer active on RV Net.
Didn't try DMax forum (link at beginning of his thread).
The thread still contains 9 pages of some good "FYI" info & discussion of/by those who viewed the pics..:C

The OP and the above linked thread are the *ONLY* "failures"
I could find - between Google *AND* going back as far as "Pullrite
SuperGlide" (year 2000) in the archives!.:h
Yes - I went "generic" just to be sure (15 pages worth).
Not uncommon for folks to post their problems -as the OP did- as opposed to post the good stuff (success stories).
Not knocking it - just human nature.
A great example would be try a search on any forum (or Google) for
Goodyear Marathon tires. Yikes!.:R
Certainly, SuperGlide owners would *like* to see any further examples of failures.
Soooo - let's see 'em!
Inquiring minds want to know.:@
