I also do my pull test before I ever remove the chocks and with the jacks still down so no danger of a fall.

And looking at my Reese with the wrap around jaw, I don't see any way for the pin to be pulled out without very obvious damage to the jaw. And I would expect to see some damage or scrape marks on the pin itself. And the jaw is geared to the pull handle and would be very unlikely to be able to rotate the jaw due to any force in any direction. And if the locking pin is installed in the pull handle then virtually impossible.

Seems that if there is no damage, then high hitching is the most likely cause.
