One day I decided to park in the driveway to do a quick unload. Cranked the trailer in sharply and had to unhook to clear the road. Chocked all 4 wheels on the asphalt and raised the tongue. As soon as the tongue cleared the ball the trailer shot straight right, the chocks went flying the jack came off the 6x6 block. Thankfully I was standing on the left side, and thankfully the last thing I unhook are the safety chains, the ones that were now bow tight. Only damage was a bent foot on tongue jack and ruined shorts. The lesson learned was never leave the axles torqued up from a sharp turn. Dave
