WOW! Got to say, I expected something totally different from you title.
That is crazy! Nice heads up though. Got three trailers myself and I will be checking bearings from here on out.
On the topic of the Trailers breaking down, We have a flat bed we had custom made after someone ran over our Harbor Freight trailer at Strawberry and ruining everything on the trailer but the axle.
We used that axle and had the trailer built around that. It is 10X6 feet on top the wheels.
Coming home one trip, we got off the freeway onto 13th south and the trailer loaded with two 10'6" pontoons, batteries and electric motors started bouncing all over the place. We pulled over on a narrow spot under an over pass. The drivers side Leaf spring had broke.
I never thought I would say this, but thank God there was trash under the overpass. I found an old Computer speaker box. I bungied it under the trailer and around the axle. We were 5 minutes from home. WE MADE IT!!!! So since them, I am always checking the Axle.
