He should be able to back right out, no problem

Only if it's 4 wheel drive.

His trailer brakes either failed or weren't there and he began fishtailing. Then instead of speeding up he started over controlling. Of course he could have wound up at the bottom of the canyon in a crumpled pickup, so it was a good day.

Tonight coming up I68 E seen a (guessing 1ton Chevy or Dodge dully) off on the hill side going w Dropping down a 3 mile mountain. Had just passed up the truck runaway . He had a 5 wheel trailer with roll of belting or steel could not tell for sure. Load was still on trailer ,trailer still attached to truck . Cannot tell you if anyone was hurt but I bet the pucker facter had cut in real quick . He had run off the road,in the ditch and then went I'm guessing 75-100' up the side of the hill. Truck and trailer on its side.

He just found a short cut to the local lake. By taking this scenic route he doesn't have to wait in line for the boat launch/ramp.

I just stumbled across this little video compilation of tractor accidents
Tractor Accidents (made by Yourthetube123) | YouTractor.com, Used Tractors for Sale -

I was in the mood for tractor videos after uploading my own little tractor accident today. No damage to the tractor, or the trailer, just to my pride
YouTube - slow leaky tire on trailer...oppps...don't forget the backhoe!

About took that fender off there. In all reality we have had a few guys wreck the truck or worse yet, one guy wreck the truck and trailer, put the tractor on its side, and end up with a broken arm. Looking at your rig you have zero weight on the back of that truck unloading the tractor. What happened to the guys I am talking about is the same senerio and the truck took off down the drive way. As this happened one guy lost a ramp and over the tractor went. He broke his arm when he jumped clear. I am not the safety police but you should throw a jack stand under the rear of the trailer and make sure you park on a flat area.

Just something to think about.
