notrailends

Im not realy shure what its suposed to be I was just
asking what everyone feels about the subject.The reason
I say I would not want the brakes to come on if the ball should fail is that the trailer brakes will lock up and jerk the car very hard,and if the trailer wheels are in a skid then you have no control at all.I feel that if the wheels on the trailer are still rolling you can now apply the trailer brake by hand with the manual stop on the brake controler and not to hit the car brakes because the trailer will then hit the car.But again I dont know if it should work that way so far I get different answers,and I have asked everyone I know who tows a trailer. I cant find anything on line that gives me a right answer. But If I do then I will go with that way.
