Not so far - with about 50,000 miles pullin' one behind me - part luck, part bein' **** 'bout the condition of the tires. I HAVE been with others when they have, though. Generally speakin', ya git the initial shock of yer underwear crawlin' up inside of ya from the noise, a bit of whip on the trailer - but the 3 or 4 ah've seen have it happen have kept things easily in control an' got her stopped w/o further incident. Remember that unlike a standard trailer where you might have a 2-3 thousand pound payload, yer generally talkin' a 3-5 hunnert lb. gross load.
