    This is especially ment for the truck trailer coupling system, as that's where my know-how is but it could also be used for the normal car trailers.

    So, what I've experienced in making semi truck (+ trailer) accidents, is that the trailer comes off way too easy and it gives the accident just a little bit of an unrealistic outcome.
    For example, I have experienced the trailer coming off in a simply head-on accident with a car which wouldn't happen in real life.

    My suggestion would be to make the coupling stronger, so that it would be a lot harder for the trailer to actually come off.


    Reference:
    (0:08 truck falls to it side, trailer stays on, 0:23 multiple colisions, but trailer stays on)
    It was hard finding youtube videos showing how strong truck trailer couplings are, but those 2 examples shows it good enough I suppose.

    Hope you'll take this into considerations, when you'll find the time for it.
