Apparatus for supporting a flexible conduit having a releasable connector

An apparatus comprising:

• a flexible conduit comprising:
• a flexible member;
• and
• a rigid member in fluid communication with the flexible member;
• a releasable connector, the releasable connector comprising:
• a female member;
• and
• a male member, wherein one of the female member and the male member is secured to one of the flexible conduit and a structural support member, and wherein the other of the female member and the male member is secured to the other of the flexible conduit and the structural support member, and
• wherein one of the male member and the female member includes a detent and the other of the male member and the female member including a biased member configured to engage the detent, such that the biased member secures the male member in the female member until the releasable connector encounters a force sufficient to overcome a biasing force exerted by a biasing element on the biased member, and the releasable connector separates;
• a tether configured to support the flexible conduit when the releasable connector separates, wherein the tether is connected between the flexible conduit and a structural support member;
• and
• a shock absorber configured to absorb a load transferred to the structural support member when the releasable connector separates.
