Only way that could be the case, is if the towed vehicle was higher than the receiver, and tow bar was angled up, toward the toad. Very rare, its almost always the other way around.
With both of our toads, it was the other way (toad was lower), to the point I've always used a drop bar to level it out some.
Now, I can think of a handful of sudden stops I've had to make, but, there has always been a supplemental braking system in use (Readybrake).

Except for the other day. I was sitting and waiting for a green light on the way home and was admiring a large DP that was coming to a stop at the intersection. That's when I noticed the steepest towbar angle I've ever seen! The Jeep Wrangler being towed was lifted, and if I had to guess, there was at least 6" rise from the hitch to the toad's bumper!
I sure hope they had a supplemental braking unit for the toad!
