OK, so how did the trailer get loose without a failure?
One way it happens is the person lowers the coupler onto the ball but it does not go down all the way and closes the latch. Now the coupler is sitting on top the ball and not connected. It is just a matter of time before it bounces off.
This is where using your tongue jack to raise your truck to make putting the weight distribution bars on easily really comes in handy. If your coupler isn't properly connected, it will not raise the rear of the truck and you will notice the obvious mistake.
