A breakaway support configured to selectively release an actuator (150) from a fitting (110) and a method of providing the breakaway support. The breakaway support includes a race (160) positioned between the actuator (150) and the fitting (110). The second end of the actuator (150) is connected to the fitting via a ball joint (170). The ball joint (170) permits the actuator (150) to pivot about the ball joint (170) in a vertical plane between a first position and a second position. The breakaway support includes a first knuckle (144) that causes the actuator to release from the fitting when the actuator moves in a first direction beyond the first position. A portion of the fitting or a second knuckle may cause the actuator to release from the fitting when the actuator moves in a second direction beyond the second position. A portion of the actuator may break to release the actuator from the fitting.
