Has anyone ever had the pin on the trailer the lock or whatever else can or could fail on a tractor trailer ? I was wondering, there was a very unfortunate accident, somewhere in NY, trailer load of crushed cars came unhooked and wiped out a family in a mini van. Seems like if something actually broke, what are the chances.

One of the things that stick in my mind is the idiots on IRT that slam the heck out of the pin in the cold, they don't seem to appreciate getting their lazy butts out of the cab and raising the legs until its just right, I always did that when hooking up, back in firmly but never saw any reason to slam it in and raise the trailer a foot while doing so, don't care if its empty, they go on just as nice an lock just the same without all the extra momentum.
