My uncle used to do safety chains like that. He said he had seen to many wreaks caused by a loose trailer pulling the tow vehicle off the road. "If that trailer comes loose, better to let it go than drag me and my family with it." 

I felt that way towing a camper behind my motorcycle. Can you imagine if it did come loose and the chains kept it whipping around behind you and then the tongue gets into the rear wheel? I took the chains off!

One of the reasons that a trailer could come loose is due to attaching the chains like that. The weight of the chains combined with a big bump overcoming the tension of the cotter pin, something in the road hitting the chains and yanking the cotter pin out or various other reasons could cause the hitch to come loose. If I was that worried about the trailer dragging me to my death, I would just not use the chains

 

Loose trailers don't always go to the right side of the road, I hate to have to explain to the family of the people that hit the loose trailer (that went to the left side of the road) my reasoning behind attaching it to the cotter pin.

That was 60 years ago, he didn't have a reese hitch. I think safety chains are the law, not an option, that's why people hook them up like in the picture or use shoe laces like my uncle did. I'm not saying it's a good idea, just explaining why some one might do that.
