It appears there is no pin in the second level back section of this nightmare.

The 1st section off the truck receiver is bending down from the weight.

IMHO this is an accident waiting to happen!

No pin needed in that location. That is for putting in another shank from the rear.
That way he could carry a flat platform carrier for his BarBQ grill. :B

Are you sure these aren't for comedy and reactions. Anyone who can come up with an idea and has all the pieces isn't stupid . All those pieces would cost as much as a proper ball in the box as long as the frame wasn't too rotten to install.

Not hooking the safety chains up is just unacceptable! :S

It looks like it would at least soften the hard bumps :B. Given his hitch I'm curious what he did to his bedliner.

I personally can't take credit for the pic. Was on another camping site I frequent.

Not knowing the nature of the trailer other than the lack of safety chains I see nothing wrong. It looks funny but it could add up.

Personally, I'd've shot more pics, then called 911. No excuse! Not even funny. Just about as bad as drunk driving, IMO.
