How did you pull the connection out? Did you accidentally wrap it around something and then when you turned it pulled it out. I have always worried about doing that after I cut my electricity with turning with my boat and the connecting wires were hanging down and caught on the trailer tongue. What a bummer.

After hooking up, we pulled forward, and then grabbed the boards we had under the tires and put them in the truck bed. Didn’t notice that one was too close to the emergency break away cable. When I made another strop it must have shifted and pulled out the stop wire.

From what I thought was a silly idea originally, I've kept my cable out of the way ever since by using one of those suction cup tea cup hooks stuck on the belly by the pin box. I bent the hood down and just hang the extra cable on the hook. If the trailer drops off the back the suction cup won't interfere with the safety function.
Mine would get caught on the hitch rails in a turn, but only with the slider in the maneuver position.

I'd check your brakes. I hooked a lanyard and pulled it out while turning out of a site and I thought I'd hit a tree! I stopped dead immediately. It was actually a relief to get out, walk around and then see the dangling cord and figure it out.
Yes... that was with the "little" Cummins. Maybe the 12liter Volvo would have kept going.
