But if you'll notice: it looks like the hitch arm is pinned open. Doing that almost guarantees that you'll drop the 5th wheel at some point.
This is the second B&W I have ever heard of have a trailer drop. The other had the arm pinned open also.
Note to self NEVER PIN THE ARM OPEN !!!!!!!!!

Didn't you guys read JumboJets explanation? The guy was unhitching his trailer, pulled the release arm before lowering the front jacks, and the trailer rolled backwards.
Funny how people read the post and get out of it only what they want to. A B&W hitch has a drop ...and they stop reading.
Clearly this episode, like most drops was operator error.
That is wear a bedsaver comes in. A bedsaver can save you from yourself. It saves your bed from operator error
