I just had something similar to this happen with the car skates.

I was dragging the Chevelle sans power train out of the trailer and into the garage to receive its new motor. I didn't know this but if the rear wheels are free to rotate they will come off the car skate and wedge the skate between the tire and rocker in the wheel opening like this rock.

I was able to quickly straighten the rocker out and cover it with some black vinyl so it's barely noticeable but the moral of the story is the rear wheels do better by being locked either by being in park or with the park brake (neither of which were available to me).

Having the axles locked together via a spool probably didn't help, either.
