Probably because his rig was not set up correctly. He most likely did not have enough tongue weight.

While your rig may be perfectly stable at 70mph, probably due to proper loading and setup, I think that if you had to do an emergency maneuver your double tow rig would act quite different from a single trailer being towed and would be much harder to control. I would say that towing doubles is quite different than towing single.

I think the same could be said for towing doubles with a 5th wheel and what about Semis pulling triples on converter dollies? They have 5 pivot points. A lot of them are towed by (relatively)light short wheelbase Day Cab style tractors. I think that the rig (assuming it pulls well)in the Youtube video is no more dangerous than the UPS guys with 3 trailers.

This is coming from someone with a Class A CDL who has pulled doubles with a Chevy Tahoe and with my current Truck/5er combo.

I think you are correct, however I was not arguing that towing doubles is either dangerous or not. I was simply arguing against his claim that "When setup correctly towing doubles is no different than a single".
