Granted chances of a failure are very low, and if they go to ground it's going to trip a 50-Amp breaker so quickly that 30-Amp wiring probably won't overheat and cause a fire anyway.
The ideal solution from my perspective would be an adaptor with a built-in 30-Amp breaker if they make such a thing.

That is why you should plug the 30 amp cable into your surge protector and the surge protector into the adapter before plugging into the pedestal.
Since one should have a surge protector anyway a breaker on the adapter is not required.
