In some states (like MN) it is not illegal to ride in a trailer, New York (from what I could find) you can ride in a 5th wheel trailer. But no way would I do it.
Very gentle taps on the trailer brakes only. And immediatly... It can get out of control very quickly, as you see in the video. And yes, once control is regained, SLOW DOWN!

Biggest help is to have the trailer loaded properly to start with, and have a good hitch set up. I am amazed how unstable those trailers were to start with such small oscillations and just get progressively worse? If nothing else, atleast make sure you've got some tongue weight. Also I guess just like cars, having a lower centre of gravity helps with stability?
These guys always impress me, with a good low CoG trailer and good hitch setup they can throw a 30+' airstream around a track behind a car....
