I recall having this happening before the 1.2.0.0 beta... I disconnected a trailer at speed and watched it roll across a couple of fields. I didn't report it as I assumed it was a feature.

Same. Honestly I vote to mostly keep that "feature" intact, and only add a speed threshold below which the trailer comes to a stop instead of rolling off. Because honestly it adds some unexpected realism in its own way, and also makes for some hilarity on the server when one of us forgets and ends up playing car bowling - happened last night during a contract job

Yep...all equipment should "roll by itself" when detaching it on a hill.
