After all, we are talk'n about a guy who doesn't even strap down a boat and I'm sure those were top of the line brakes on 2 of the 3 axles on that cheap azz trailer. It was unfortunate and a bummer that it happened...but when are people gonna stop tempting fate.

Just a guess.

Popped off the ball and slammed into the ground causing the tongue area to SNAP and dig in.

But WTF do I know.
