Actually, if your hitch comes out, the only real problem you have at that particular moment is stopping 15k lbs of runaway trailer. Other problems are all secondary and after the fact considerations.
As for stuff in the bed of the truck, I plug my umbilical into an in bed connector that I mounted near the rear of the bed. I hook my breakaway cable in the in bed tie down point right below it. I do not put anything else behind the hitch, that is reserved space for the 2 cables. When I used to hook the cable on the head release arm, I once had the cable get hooked under the head and pull the pin in the middle of a corner. Locked the wheels up solid in the middle of an intersection. I have not had any problems since I started hooking it at the rear of the bed behind the hitch.
