Correction: The safety strap I mentioned connects to a lower spot on the bow roller post, not on the winch post. So there would indeed need to be multiple simultaneous failures for the bow of the boat to be able to rise up off of the trailer. And in that exceedingly unlikely case, of course, the boat would still be double-strapped to the trailer at the stern.
The connection points of those rear straps to the trailer do look symmetrical, but I haven't taken a tape measure to them yet.
