It's current and happening right now. So, to answer your question, there are people towing without a properly adjusted brake controller, so essentially, they're relying on the truck brakes to do the stopping and as stated, "When we got to the bottom, my husband felt the hubcaps on truck and trailer and the front ones on the truck were very hot. He could'nt leave his hand on it."
So, yes, it happens, probably more often than any of us would want to admit.
