WOW
That could have been a disaster, glad it ended well.
That thing should have been scrapped a long time ago.
I never leave my hitches in when, not in use and if any were to get that rusty I would toss it.
Crossing the safety chains is a must to hopefully prevent the tongue from a full drop in these types of situations.
Towing can be stressful enough this just adds to it.
