I was loading a stagecoach a number of years ago. I used to drive it for a museum. I had a hand crank winch on the front of a 16ft trailer. I kind of forgot to latch hitch the ball down. Well as the coach came up the front of the trailer lifted off the ball and away I went. I was rolling down a slight incline praying that I could get to the coaches handbrake and that it would be enough to stop it. I had to climb up the front of the coach to the drivers seat and stomp on the brake as hard as I could it slowed the thing down enough that when I hit the cedar trees I only broke a few of the branches and nothing else. Needless to say I always double check that latch nowadays. Never did tell the boss about that one or several of the other near accidents that happened there.
