According to the website it's rated for 6500#...can't see how it was overloaded.
Was the locking pin fully inserted?
Did the Super Foot collapse?
Sounds like trailer wheels weren't properly chocked and trailer moved forward
OP stated the ELECTRIC JACK BENT so I don't think that the Super foot was overloaded. However the JACK tube was overloaded by the OFFSET that the Super foot CREATES.
Stupid design.
The proper way to do that extension would be a TUBE that FITS over the existing jack tube and STAYS UNDER THE CENTER of the jack tube.
Anything offset like the Super foot will create a huge amount of STRESS on the jack tube ABOVE the point where the Super foot clamp stops.
Think of it like putting a 2ft long pipe over a 1/2 ratchet wrench to gain more leverage.
The super foot extension acts like a LEVER and the jack tubes are made from very THIN WALL TUBING and are not designed for high side loads. The strength in the jack tubing is mainly straight up and down not side to side.
Most likely can not use the Super foot for ANY terrain which is NOT totally flat which completely DEFEATS it's purpose in life.
