On a two wheel trailer, there is no leaning! Just like a trike! (All bets
are off if you like to lift up on two wheels!)

Ergo; no"torsional stresses" problem! Just thinking out loud, but from
towing a trailer behind my truck or car, there is a lessening of stability
and agility, probably the same with a human powered trike/trailer combo. As
in most things moving after the age of 50, I've learned to slow it down and
stay in that window - of safety! (I can remember when the very thing I
liked to do is get something up on two wheels just to see what would
happen!)
