Forester loses control with trailer

Such a small trailer, i wonder what was in it. Never seen this happen before with a trailer that size. Good advertisement for electric brakes
 
Weird, stroke of luck no one was hurt by the looks of it. Also the dash cam guy is speeding, not that it matters just found it funny.
 
I've done it before.
Small trailer with a short drawbar and poor weight placement. Once you get over about 80 it starts to sway. Not fun, Just need to slow down.
 
Best effort I have seen was a Bobcat in a box trailer.... I don't know how he did it :&
 
Have also had this happen with heavily loaded short-drawbar trailer -- started to sway at about 90.. just slowed (gently) to stop it.

Video should be titled 'idiot driver loses control with trailer'.
 
Better trailer weight distribution may have prevented the sway to begin with. Lots of people seem to think you want an evenly weighted trailer so that you get a nice light draw bar. This is just asking for a wobble. Even on a trailer that small you actually want at least 50Kg on the tow bar for it to tow nicely.
