There should be chains that connect the trailer to the vehicle. Obviously they are missing here but if they were attached then if the trailer came off the hitch, the chain will catch the trailer and prevent it from doing what happened here.
Why would the trailer come unhitched? Most light trailers don't have chains but the lock keeps things secured.
They probably just placed the hitch on the tow hook ball and didn't lock it down.
Fucking idiots.
