Besides tearing up his setup and injuring himself those propane tanks could have been disastrous if those valves got compromised.
Only time I have had sway in my TT is very windy days and fast passing (speeding) semis. I have learned to tighten my bars, proper loading of the trailer and not travel on windy says although travelling long distances you will encounter varying weather conditions along your route. Now I pretty consistently check my side view mirrors. It catches approaching (speeding) semis, trailer sway, and any other trailer issues.
I had dangerous sway towing a 20" flat bed with improper load (9k) distribution (light tongue weight). I eased off gas and tapped trailer brakes and pulled off next exit and rebalanced the load and travelled 4 more hours with no issues. Looking back I think with experience with trailer you can feel instability before the dangerous sway. That trailer was twitchy at lower speed before I got to cruise speed. I now know my load weights and can approximate the load distribution.
