I was towing a large loaded U haul trailer that I let someone else load and didn't check (my fault lesson learned). The trailer was so light it bounced off the ball at 50 mph on the freeway. Through the adrenaline, I was able to control it and keep it from repeatably smashing into the back of the truck with the gas, but only because the chains held, so very important. I will never pull a 5th wheel without them, required or not. I got really pissed when I picked the tongue up off the ground and put it back on the ball by hand.
