Not a paperclip, but I did something similar and learned the same lesson with a loose connection on a 12v spotlight on a forklift.

Almost all ultra low voltage injuries I have seen are burn related.

How long have you had your flagpole up for? Does it bend in the wind?

I had it up since February. It’s a cheap sectional pole but it had the best reviews. We get some very strong winds coming off the lake and it does bend but it doesn’t get damaged. However, if I know we’re going to get a bad storm I lower the flag.
 
Someone needs a Hitch Hauler.
Having built a hitch hauler myself, they're kinda a pita. Granted, mine comes apart to bolt onto the cart for 1 person load / unload, which does add some time. But besides that, you still need to bolt the pinch plates on the receiver to keep it from rocking. Also strap it down really well. It's honestly a lot easier to throw it on a trailer that really only needs the winch attached to the nose, and a strap around the back if you're cautious. Of course tires and bearings on a trailer can be a pain too. Plus the paranoia of never having a tag / registration, or maybe that's just me.

All good options and it's not for everyone. For me the ease of maneuvering and getting past the stupid 55 mph towing speed limit is worth the trouble.

As an FYI, I have a cheapo Harbor Freight telescoping one, and we had crazy winds here last weekend including gusts over 80mph, tornado warnings and multiple micro bursts in the area. Trees down all over my neighborhood. Cheapo flagpole survived, with flag flying the whole time, completely unscathed. I was shocked.
