I don't see any safety cables.  On every Blue Ox and Demco that I have ever had, both had cables run through the brackets and then through and around another part of frame or crossmember.

The cables are attached to my coach. They hook thought the rear hole on the red bracket when connected and towing

Absolutely.  Rigged like this as close to fail safe as possible.
