The bull comes apart in two pieces, and it takes two people to load it. Then there are inflatable bumpers and ring, a controller box, 2 heavy cables, a dolly, and other assorted stuff that goes with it.

Clearly you like to have detailed knowledge. Well done. Having a tire blow out would help a lot. Especially if she's going pretty fast. Should be one of the truck tires, not the trailer. Speed + weight + rain + blowout could turn into a wild ride for anybody.

Also - if the tongue weight of the trailer is not set properly (ie, not enough, or if the load is too far rearward on the trailer) that can cause violent fishtailing even at low speeds.
