ditto to zilla's comments.  I don't want a flying pod coming loose when all that is jacked up.  But in reality, the tow vehicle falls and is fine and the pod might bounce a bit and scare the tar out of you.  I think that was my main concern, the stress in the pod hitch and if that is a problem.  The wdh and ball is really beefed up so the pod hitch is carrying the weight of the rear of the tow vehicle at the point of attach and detachment.

This is also a very good way of making 100% sure that your hitch is securely attached to the ball!!Wink
