Rather than hook the ground to the battery, hook it to the same point the battery connects to the chassis and the issue cannot occur.

Those who walk bravely through life, unafraid of loss or failure,
find that they very rarely lose or fail.

It kind of is.
In an automotive situation if the battery negative to chassis connection fails it's possible a *lot* of current will try and find its way home via the radio. It's not a likely situation but is possible. Having said that I only use one fuse on mobile rigs and no fuses at all on my bush radio but simply a 1m lead to a battery.
