Fiver Pin Separated From Hitch on Interstate

BUT WAIT! that arm can swing open... just because it didn't happen does not mean it can't because there is nothing other than the pin to keep it from doing that...this is the point. We have a winner!!! Someone who admits they left the pin out with no ill effects That is the other point IT CAN HAPPEN!!! you or anyone can forget to put that pin in...well you got very lucky. The internal spring does not keep it closed...Do you have a B&W?? If you do, take a good close look at how it works... A latch "ANY LATCH" for that arm would have its own spring to keep it closed...as I said, this is just to give you all an idea...the thought that there is nothing there other that "YOU" putting in a safety pin is a weakness... the human weakness and the mechanical weakness is a accident waiting to happen. If it hasn't happened already.
