Hello,
he pulls the pin holding the hitch to the receiver on the truck, pulls forward and is done. Then, when he's ready to leave he "simply" backs the truck up, aligns it to the hitch and re-inserts it into the receiver. To me it sounds pretty dangerous.

Dangerous is right. With the tension on those bars, just pulling the pin and driving off..... just where do you think all that tension is going to go? Plus, with the tension on the drawbar, I seriously doubt if you could even pull that pin out!!
Hensleys do take some practice in hitching back up. The draw bar has to be perfectly aligned and even then, you sometimes have to use the adjustable tension bars to get exactly the right height and angle configuration of the draw bar. However, once you do it a few times, it becomes much easier.
