The coroner's concerns
1. foreign object entering tow hitch coupling
“There is a possibility that a foreign object may enter a tow hitch coupling”
2. operators not ensuring full engagement of towing mechanism
“Operators may not always ensure that whatever a towing mechanism is used, that it is fully engaged by way of a full visual inspection”
3. operators not conducting Jockey Wheel test
“That conducting a Jockey Wheel test is a further indicator that the coupling head may not be engaged and operators may not be doing so”
