Safety Chains Andersen Hitch
I have ordered the Andersen Hitch after reading the responses to my earlier question posted here about the hitch. Now I am wondering how necessary are the safety chains that are now sold as an option...

Who decided a 5th wheel hitch with mechanical jaws is superior to a ball with a pin. Both can fail. If 5th fails trailer slips out fairly easy. The ball/pin fails the trailer has to bounce off the ball...not easy for a gooseneck or 5th conversion.
I don't use safety chains on my Andersen. I would rather the trailer come out/pull brake/trailer hit ground and stop then roll me over. And chances are it's going to ride on my bed rails till I get stopped vs comming off truck.
