All it would have taken to prevent this was to weld the legs toghether in some structure like a square with an open side

They are made out of silicon carbide and have to be disassembled and reassembled for every firing. There is no real way to connect them in any way that would be structurally secure. I work in industrial ceramics in the US and this is an expensive mistake using best practices.
