If the tow bar were level or in a position upward from the coach to the toad, this would allow an upward pivot point and the toad could "run under" the tow bar. Otherwise, in the correct position, this same inertia will put downward pressure on the front of the toad, keeping all 4 wheels on the ground.
Now that makes sense. I like my little 'bend' a whole lot more now. Thanks for sharing what you've learned.
