What not to do with your truck.

Please don't attempt this with your truck. This was a proffessional driver on a not so deserted hiway. Got the bejesus scared out of me on Monday while headed to Louisianna towing my travel trailer. The coupler apparently failed after 2 hours of towing and opened as I passed a milk truck. After swaying back and forth violently for several quick cycles on the safety chains, it then threw me into the median headed for the oncoming lanes before jacknifing my truck and then whipping around and rolling onto its side and bursting at the seams. My superior rigging skills kept my motorcycle in place during this entire manuever. Just wished I had checked the coupler as well.
