Unsecured trailer hitches are a significant cause of accidents. This is precisely where the need for safety chains arises.
The function of a safety chain is to keep the trailer and the towing vehicle connected if they become disconnected. Using safety chains is a good practice, but the law also requires it in all states. Federal regulations in all States require the use of safety chains when towing.
