I use the hitch handle also. I have had a problem twice. Turning a really tight corner (slider hitch). Wire catches on hitch base bolt/pin and pulled the brake cable when straighening out!! Hard to pull in that case!! One of the times was on a 4 lane highway not too busy - thank goodness. Stopped me with the Montana cross ways closing 2 lanes of traffic. Now I am fast at popping the pull pin back in and moving again.
