[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 3470530, member: 1957"] Close enough. (post 3912) If the trailer departs its fifth wheel it will "free wheel" until friction or an obstruction stopped it. If the trailer remains on the fifth wheel it will "free wheel" until something stops it. Unfortunately, in the case of a tractor-trailer, the free wheeling trailer will continue to push the tractor, that is trying to stop it, into a violent jackknife sometimes resulting in a fatality.
