Default ALWAYS cross your safety chains!

I had a trailer come off because I didn't put a bolt,pin or lock in the
trailer hitch hole. It swerved wildly enough to shake the chains off. Now
I always use the positive locking full clips(they are cheap) instead of
"S" hooks. Not to argue, but I don't see the reasoning behind crossing
chains.

Trailer safety chains that have "S" hooks without a safety latch are illegal
in some states.
