This doesn’t explain why a truck can drive at double digits mph with the trailer up.
Torque.
But yeah a safety feature would be easy to implement. It could be a buzzer that goes off or a enforced max speed of like 10-20 mph as long as the trailer isn’t locked in the down position.

My uneducated guess: the truck driver forgot to pull down the trailer lift after dumping whatever it was carrying

That’s like the most basic safety mechanism the manufacturer could implement.

Well they are two separate vehicles coupled together, so it’s two manufacturers who must cooperate.
