I have seen that three times in my life and sure don't want it to happen to me.

Glad to hear everybody is OK every thing else can be replaced.

The crazy part is we have had the trailed weighed and it was under what the hitch was rated for.[/url]

Sounds like inferior steel, underbuilt assembly, or metal fatigue.
