And, no, the safety chains should not break. I think the hitch receiver came off before that happened. Cretin

Don't think the hitch or the stinger gave out, if anything the ball broke off and while safety chains shouldn't break they sure do. The chain size isn't enough to keep them from breaking.

I have been involved in 3 trailer loses, 2 similar to this and 1 on icy roads. All 3 came off the ball and broke there safety chains. Others like to spout off about a rogue trailer rolling down the road and how dangerous it is but as soon as the tongue hits the ground the trailer isn't going much further. I for one don't want to be attached to the trailer after the tongue hits the pavement and starts to turn over. In these three trailer losses the hitch checked out fine as well as the stinger and ball. Stinger and ball got replaced never less.
