A few things that come to mind.
Safety chains?
Have you checked the ball to see if it is worn or out of round?
How many miles has the ball been used for towing?
Towing balls have a lifespan, they get worn and need to be replaced, especially if you are towing professionally.
I have had to replace the hitch part of one of my trailers because it was worn and would pop out without releasing the safety catch. I am sure that if you take a brand new ball and the old worn one you will find that they do not measure the same.
I had a gooseneck pop off once, safety chains caught the trailer an inch from taking out the tailgate. I got in a hurry and forgot to latch the safety, 100% my fault.
