Agree with the above posts. This is not real world driving.
I do think there is a miss understanding of exactly what trailer "sway" really is. When the driver makes a sudden move, an over correction, the trailer is going to wiggle. THAT is NOT trailer sway. That's just normal reaction of the trailer.
Sway is when the trailer suddenly begins to gyrate violently, like a vibration on steroids. It begins pivoting at the axles. The trailer hitch is violently pushing sideways, back and forth against the tow vehicle hitch, causing he rear end of the tow vehicle to begin shaking back and fort sideways. And this happens when least expected. It's sudden, it's not staged, and there is usually no warning. And if the driver cannot regain control immediately, the gyration of the trailer will cause it to eventually flip as the gyration becomes greater and greater and greater!
Unlike this video, where simple centripetal force, form going too fast around a curve and the vehicle flips over, is all that's happening in THIS video, and also what a lot of folks (think) sway is.
