I don't see safety chains, but the article seems to indicate that the boat came off the trailer. I guess some boaters just pull it up on the trailer with the winch but don't put on any other tie downs.
The wording in the article is confusing. Based on my "interpretation" of the wording and the photo, it appears that the boat did not come off the trailer. It seems to appear that the trailer became disconnected from the tow vehicle. Regardless, a very tragic situation.
