Unless my understanding of physics is wrong slamming on the brakes is the exact wrong thing to do. It's the same situation as a blowout, you want to gently accelerate to put the dominant vector in the proper direction (forward), hitting the independent trailer brakes also helps to align the vectors through the tow vehicle, just in a smaller total momentum, so the ideal solution is likely to gently accelerate AND hit the trailer brakes, none of that would visibly illuminate the taillights.
