Secure the tow bar in your receiver
Here's your daily safety reminder. This poor fella is lucky to be alive after taking a direct hit to the head from a loose hitch shank and ball. Looks like the vehicle in front of him lost a shank...

My daughter did not properly insert her hitch into the receiver and had the whole thing hit the road about a mile from home on the highway. Luckily, the chains held and the trailer did minimal damage to the back of her SUV. I spray painted the insert with a bright red stripe painted on it so that she KNOWS that the insert is in the receiver properly. It also helps to make the insert more visible so nobody knocks their knees.
