Is this unsafe to do this?
Would anyone hitch up their breakaway cable like this? I was trying to figure out the logic behind this method, thanks. Moderator edit to re-size picture to forum limit of 640px maximum width.

To all of those that say it looks safe, after the coupler becoming disconnected or the ball/nut becoming unthreaded, the pin holding the hitch in the receiver is just about the only other possible failure point causing loss of trailer. If the cotter pin comes off of the pin and the pin slides out, what is going to activate the brakes?
What if and what if! We can all what if this happens, well what if your frame breaks, and what if when it activates the brakes don't work, you can only take so many precautions for what if.
Personally I would hook mine that way, actually it looks kinda thought out to me, much better than just hooking cable on the safety chain hook which many do.
