I don’t see what he did wrong honestly. Doesn’t a merc lock the trailer brakes as well, when the handbrake is on? Certainly wouldn’t try it with a Volvo and would myself prefer to have either the legs down or airlines off before pulling the pin but other than that, what’s the big fuss about…
You are of course correct mate, and 999 times out of a 1000 you’d get away with it, but as sure as eggs is eggs there WILL come that one time…
I told the same to a mate of mine who’s been driving for ten years or so after I watched him pull the pin first. I told him that one day it will bite him in the arse and the best possible outcome would be an hour filling forms in, the worst doesn’t bear thinking about.
