Chains
Did I miss the memo or something about safety chains? For 30 years, I have always crossed my safety chains to provide a basket for the tongue in the horrific event the coupler comes loose of the ball....

Does not say they have to be crossed, just attached in a manner where the tounge will not hit the ground. Seems it would be hard to prove either way in court.
I agree with Turtle n peeps on the likely hood of it making much difference on it hitting the ground due to the jack position.
