I'm very happy with my B&W hitch, and have been for the past 11 years. I like the fact that they are totally American made. Needed new U bolts (my fault) they sent me new ones no charge. Actually talked to a real human English speaking person on the phone. Customer service A+++.
You're going to need new u-bolts about every 7-8 times you remove your hitch. Those d@mn nylock nuts eventually bind up and you have to just twist them off. (Be sure you have a breaker bar handy!) I've got 2 sets of new bolts on the shelf, but I keep any old ones I feel I could get 1 or 2 more uses out of. Frankly, I should just toss the old nylock nuts and buy new ones and that would give me another 2 sets of u-bolts. ๐

I think RCMANS explanation makes more sense than yours does, FJ. Why was the trailer rolling over if it was still hitched to the truck which wasn't rolling over? An extreme evasive maneuver makes more sense for why the hitch broke and the trailer ended up on its side.
It's amazing how much product loyalty is used to skew the opinion of others even though there is no reward for that loyalty. Curt or B&W, to each his own.

That seems to be at odds from what I read. Which was the trailer started to roll over taking the truck with it. The hitch released which kept the truck from going on over.
But perhaps you were there and saw the whole thing?

There was no rollover.
It was a simple case of an evasive maneuver and the head of the B&W disconnected and was snagged on the truck bed which caused the trailer to land on it's side.

I do not believe I have seen a Curt do this.
In a rollover, all bets are off.

I have a 2017 F350 4x4 and pull a Jayco Pinnacle with a MORryde pin box. Curt says the problem is they are both set in rubber and they are fighting each other when hooking up. I am also getting some chucking too. To those that see I have just used it 4 times
I have owned two other fifth wheels but had a Reese hitch and never had problems like this.
