The breakable portion may include thinner material than material of a remaining portion of the panel, perforations, or a crack. The bracket may have a higher ductility than the lower panel. The bracket may be bolted to the lower panel. The connector may include a secondary hole. The bracket has a portion that is inserted in the secondary hole.
