Ouch, got to give the guy credit, he stayed with it until it stopped. Most would have just let go.

Notice the nice camera work? I think maybe the video was planned and the guy always parks his boat and trailer that way. Or it might have been a competition to see who can hang on the best while wearing only t-shirt and shorts. I want to see the road rash.

Its 2 different views from a home security camera.

That's what I figure. Did the 2nd view zoom in on its own or is there video editing software that does that effect on existing video? I wasn't being completely serious about my first comment above, but I still want to see the road rash.

It could only happen in oz. Fatigue or some mothers do...........He was lucky to hold on & not be seriously hurt & missed the parked cars across the road.

Man, that must have been a REAL drag.

The trajectory of the trailer couldn't have been more perfect, missing the light pole, trash bins and other vehicles before gently teeing into the curb... I imagine it would have been a different outcome had he not provided the extra resistance. I don't think I would have trusted my well-being to the wheeled jack, as it could have easily failed under those stresses and crushed a hand, or worse.

I knew a fellow years ago who was working at a soldering station... he accidentally knocked his soldering iron over and it began to slide off the bench... reflexively he caught it by the hot end as it was falling, and thus got scarred rather badly. Sometimes it's healthier to just let things go.
