Default Risk of shorting out Capacitor?

Hi guys. I have seen quite a number of RS/RS Pros wired with banana plugs to plug into a hardcase lipo directly. I would like to do the same to reduce clutter but have some reservations.

My current setup also involves a hardcase lipo but with the additional of a deans connector between the esc and the banana plugs.

My question is whether there is a risk of shorting / destroying the capacitor wired to the esc if the positive and negative plugs accidentally touch each other. If so how can I eliminate/reduce this risk.
