Kudos to Soma for not just shutting the door.
My very unscientific thoughts on low trail are;
If you steer your bike then they ride just fine. You tend to steer more when you are loaded so they feel even more stable.
But if you lean to steer, the trail reduces further, throw in a little bit of steering correction and the trail goes into neutral or even negative, the wheel try’s to turn in on itself or succeeds if you’re unlucky and down you go.
That could all be smoke, but it makes sense to me.
