Something smells awfully fishy.
10 mph around a bend should not propel a quad up and over the side of a trailer. From your explanation the center of gravity would be inside the trailer and it would take a significant force to lift that weight over the side of the trailer.
How many straps did you use? Where I live 2 are required. What is the load rating on your straps? I'll bet they are those lightweight 400 lb. rating holding a 650 lb load.
At ten mph calculators on the internet show that you could stop in 21 feet so his ATV shouldn't have been dragged very far.
I think you are very fortunate that you only got one ticket.
