I hook it to the safety chain holes on the hitch. I suppose the entire hitch could break off, if it did I suspect it would be the least of my problems at the time.
I think the reason for the chains and break way switch are in case of ball failures.
If your trailer were to come loose on the road, it would not be "your problem" but rather everyone around you who should be worrying. That said, I can't imagine how the brakes on your trailer would prevent a huge catastrophe. I mean, if the trailer is completely free of the TV then we all have problems. I clip mine to the frame of the truck to keep the lawmen happy and to help me sleep at night.
