Abstract
An support structure of an article that has a tamper deterrent structure. The support structure, such as a handle, includes segments that are connected by a series of connectors. Both the segments and the connectors, on their own, are designed to prevent their use as a weapon. The connectors provide structure to the segments when the support structure is used as intended but are positioned so the support structure will fail upon intentional manipulation. This manipulation causes the support structure to break into smaller pieces in the event the support structure is attempted to be fashioned into or used as a weapon.
