Saw this today in I-96 outside of Grand Rapids, MI today. No ambulance so hopefully everyone was OK. Hensley

Unless the trailer brakes before (lead the TV's brakes), has GREAT
brakes to out do the TV...it will impart a 'push' onto the TV's tail (the ball)
If the setup is off line (turn, curve, etc), that 'push' will try to move the
TV's tail more off line
Even with the highly touted HA/Pro...this can cause an over steering
situation with the TV...which will drag the trailer into a jack knife
situation/potential
This is the kind of stuff I 'speculate' on all the time...curse of being a designer...
So for those who think it weird to 'speculate'...us types think it likewise
weird to NOT 'speculate' on stuff...
