Safest way is legs on the back of the trailer that swing down on the rear of the trailer. Another option is chalks. I had the same thing happen to me a couple of times. One time on a slope I put it in 4hi, kept it from rolling, but I didnt like watching my pickup buck like that. Cant be good on it, I now have legs that swing down.

I go for the most low-tech solution- chock the rear trailer axle. Two blocks of 4x4, one in front of each tire if it's a downward slope, one front and rear of one side if it's an upward slope.

Jack stands work under the rear of the trailer for my 12,000lb dozer. Cheap and easy. You prolly already have jackstands, just carry 'em with you when loading the big ones.
... i've got tractors so heavy that will even lift up the back of my truck (as in totally off the ground) if the terrain isnt right.
