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....

#1 most safety chains are way too long, if the correct length, they will cradle the hitch and allow you to safely stop the package.
However, I do not agree that, in general, safety chains can be made short enough to keep the tongue from making contact with pavement.
Here is an excellent Thread by John Barca which explains and shows why.
