Break-away Cable?
Am I correct? The break-away cable should be SHORTER than the chains...(travel trailer) Doing some tweaking.... Thanks.

Trailer will be much more stable if its brakes are on than not. Pin should pull before chains break (which they shouldn't) - otherwise you're just adding manual trailer brake control to what you have to do to safely slow down. You really don't want to stop the combo using just the vehicle brakes, with the tongue under the vehicle, or swinging from side to side on the chains.
It won't be like a parachute, like someone said, more like a drogue chute - trailer brakes slow the combo, while the vehicles steers and maintains control.
If you've ever pulled a vehicle with a tow strap, you'll understand - you want to keep it taught or you're going to get yanked around and sacrifice control.
