Glad it wasn't worse. Outback it ain't necessarily city boys that do things like this. I did the same thing with a Chevy 1 ton, a gooseneck trailer and a tractor. Trailer had kickstands on the ramps too. I rode that thing 100 feet before I gained enough composure to back the tractor back down the ramps. No matter how hard I pushed the brakes on the tractor, the truck wouldn't stop. LOL I was on a driveway, headed slightly downhill, with fresh limestone gravel on it. Scared the crap out of me. I'm pretty sure my butthole pinched a hole in the tractor seat.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I can't post a picture, but I built Jack stands for my trailer. Not only can your truck run away, but I've seen many trailer frames bent. That's way too much weight to load without a jack stand.

just a note the brakes on tractor will not stop the truck . And the steering wheel won't turn it either!

Don’t blame the 1/2 ton for that. Not blaming the truck so much as blaming myself for being used to a diesel truck that never had that issue. Lesson learned.

Glad there were no injuries . I made these blocks to prevent the problem you experienced. That’s a good idea! Do the blocks not wedge under the trailer when you put a load on it? That has never been a problem. Sometimes they do get wedged but I've always been able to rotate them with the rope and pulled them out.

Also, I just put the blocks under the dovetail loosely if that make sense. It's okay if the rear of the trailer dips slightly when you load.

I wondered the same for a moment then thought about how the tractors weight should be centered forward of the trailer's axles. The hitch end should drop therefore raising the rear of the trailer. Now, depending on the strength of the springs and the weight of the load, it still may pinch the chocks under the trailer, but in most cases, I'd bet you could drive off of them.
