B&W fail or Operator Error?
Not my truck, trailer or hitch. Buddy of mine had this happen to him a couple of weeks ago. Said he did a pull test, all was good. When he pulled out of the campsite it disconnected. I do not have any...

B&W hitches are very good but if you don't get the handle all the way back and pin it correctly this can happen. Also if you get the kingpin over the jaws this can happen. A pull test should have caught this. Now I'm worried about my B&W pulling a trick like this!!
Ha...your B&W is not capable of "pulling a trick" on you. It's like saying "who stole my glasses" when you don't remember where you put them.
Someone played a trick on you, took your keys, when you left them in your jacket pocket.
Yup, I've been there! :)
Also I agree, by design of the B&W cam action jaws, you likely don't need the pin in handle, to tow your FW. It's kind of a Chinese handcuff thing, the harder you pull on the jaws, when fully wrapped around the pin, the tighter they hang on! Do I recommend trying this....nope!
