I just saw a report of a toddler falling out of a fifth wheel that was making a left turn near Costco in Helena MT. The accompanying video showed other children who had apparently been riding in the fiver milling around after the accident. The tow vehicle didn't even appear large enough to fit the entire family. PLEASE, don't let anyone ride in a trailer under tow!

Some states it is legal to have passengers riding in 5th wheel trailers. As long as the 5th wheel and tow vehicle have been properly equipped (intercom between tow vehicle and 5th wheel, plus the usual safety devices).
That being said, the one time my DW rode in ours she said she would never do it again. Too bouncy over bumps.
Kids used to fall out of cars often before the manufacturers added auto lock on the doors along with kid proof lock switch.
