Linking cargo sleds behind Snowdog?

I am concerned about them sliding out of control while going down ramps and banks. It would not be good to have them pass me on the way down the ramp. Do you use a solid(ie. conduit) v shape hitch or just use rope? Would it apply to adding on a third sled?
I really like the snow dog sleds. They have a metal frame with a hitch loop on the back, built for linking. If fact, I got 2 when I bought it and went back and got a third. I run 3 Snow dog sleds and either a jet sled or a clam flip on the back, which is connected by rope via a clevis. I’ve never had a problem with the rope in towing, but I think it would be an issue if it wasn’t the last sled or there were multiple with rope. A Smitty or another sled that was really slick may crash into the sled in front of it, but a jet sled or tub with hyfax runners doesn’t seem to do that- unless on glare ice. Then you gotta be careful no matter what. Another thing to mention, the snow dog sleds are a pain to pull by hand. It’s really nice to have one sled that is mobile. My son usually puts his gear in the jet sled so he can move away and hole hop.
