Tailwheel disengages too easily (I think)

Once in a while on a tight 90 degree turn (usually left) the tailwheel will break its interconnect and go into free castor, but with a little power and brake it reconnects. However, I flew with a passenger of about 210 pounds a few days ago and it went into castor several times.

What is the remedy to this?
