Turned the corner too quickly? At least it was tied down correctly.. easy fix.

The pickup on the trailer sure is secured.

What is the easy fix? Put enough weight on the high side or pull on high side with a cable? Just wondering. Jon

Go around the corner too fast the other way until it is upright?

I'm not sure how he managed to do that? I use to pull one of those trailers every day with a F550, looks like the coupler wasn't secured or somthing on the hitch assembly failed based on the angle.

Not sure about the turn theory, looks like it was pretty straight to me.

I doubt the hitch failed. The truck is the only thing keeping the trailer and the other truck mostly upright.

Well I know on mine that the coupler wasn't capable of that kind of angle attached and intact.
Might be a safety chain holding it along with the left jack.
I don't see any damage in the pavement behind the left jack foot so doesn't appear to have happened during travel.
Still though, not sure how he managed that, I've had E350 vans in that position and taken some pretty hard corners and never came close to laying the trailer over.

Ya, definately. I dont see anything that would cause any damage to the load there. That & the fact its not budging at that angle indicated at least he can secure a load properly. Something not good happened, but definately not nearly as bad or ad waiting to happen as a lot of other photos in this thread.
