Today, I was moving to the city with all my belongings when the trailer came unhitched, breaking the chains on my dad's homemade trailer. I then watched as the trailer narrowly missed a guardrail, went down a hill and into a river. My dad still won't admit he didn't latch the hitch. FML

OP, you're driving. It's your responsibility to check it. You're not living with mommy and daddy anymore. Time to take responsibility for yourself.

As #9 said, and legally, it is up to the driver to make sure his cargo is safely secured.

Okay first off homemade trailer does not sound like a good idea. Also you need a trailer for all your crap? If I were you I would have just rented a trailer to me that's more trustworthy.

All your belongings: $2000. Your dads homemade trailer: $67. The feeling you had after watching all your belongings roll into a river, thinking to yourself "I wish I rented a Uhaul.": Priceless.

That's why you always check the hitch yourself before you take off. Sucks it happened but if you thinkits cause the hitch wasnt correctly hooked then its kind of your fault, I always double check myself that the hitch is latched, the lights/brakes are plugged in ( guessing yours didnt have trailer brakes anyway though) and make sure that the door it latched as well. Even if Im not the one driving.

Being a homemade trailer it may have been latched when they left. A transport device for all your worldly possessions is no place to save a little cash op.

Today, I was dumb enough not to double check that my dad's "home-made" trailer was properly latched before I drove over hilly terrain and as all my worldly possessions invariably rolled into a river I realized that I'm STILL the smartest person in my family, FML

All of this could have been prevented had your dad used enough duck tape.
