To fix the problem I removed the 6 self tapping screws from the brace and removed it. The three failed straps were also removed. (I threw all of this away). I took the bent up brace to a welder and for $80 he made me a new brace form 3/8" angle iron. (This one isn't bending!) I put the new brace in place, drilled out the self tapping holes and replaces the screws with 6 nuts and bolts. I didn't bother to replace the safety straps.
Essentially the same solution I employed. Our trailer had an open underbelly so I spotted the potential for failure right from the get go and installed the bracing so I never did have the tank fall off the trailer, as others have experienced.
