It gets worse. The extra weight on the rear of the trailer then caused the cheapy trailer hitch on my then trailer to disconnect and at highway speed I had my GT3 dragging it arse on the ground while my trailer did its best to demolish the back of my Cayenne while attached by safety chains. The only saving grace was the fact that the rear straps somehow caught up the back of the GT3 and so it didn't actually leave the trailer completely and the damage was limited a rear bumper and an exhaust system from being dragged on the ground and a new bumper and tailgate on the Cayenne. It was bad but it could have been a disaster. On returning I got rid of the trailer and bought one with a proper bulldog hitch and never used unlatched straps again.
