Even the pros have their moments!
All of us have our momentary lapses...but fiver owners especially will likely best appreciate this "oops"! Pic from my SECOND favorite website, Say "No" to Bonehead Truckers

Had a co driver drop one like this in a brand new Freightliner (first trip). Before firing him, the company had lead mechanic examine the fifth wheel. He found that the fifth wheel was defective from the factory. Appeared to latch and passed the pull test. Did not drop until 2-3 blocks from departure terminal. I personally witnessed all of this and was in the tractor when it dropped. Don't be too quick to judge.
