Video does not show any chains, but I would think using the ball hitch would require using safety chains to meet state laws.
Im not trying to pick a fight, but when I read posts about concerns for breaking the single bolt holding the ball vs. breaking the single bolt that holds the Kingpin is there really much difference?
I have no opinion about breaking a bolt. But the requirement for safety chains is in case the hitch jumps off the ball. And in the video it shows them pushing a handle on a small cable to latch the hitch on the ball and then rotating the handle to hold the latch in place. That would be the weak point it appears.
