Flipped Trailer

Would a robot be disabled if their trailer was somehow flipped on its side during a competion? I was thinking that with the low friction there would be a lot of "power-slide" type turns with the trailer flailing out behind the robot. And if such a turn is done fast enough or another robot hits the trailer just the rightvway in the middle of a "power-slide" turn there is a chance that the trailer might flip.

I have not personally seen one of the trailers in person and I do not how the how heavy the trailer is or how the weight is distributed, so what I am talking about might never happen.

Also I do not remember reading about rules covering this issue in the 2009 Handbook, but I just might not have looked hard enough.

Thanks
