the picture shows him hanging upside down from one of the spires of Cinderella's Castle at Disneyworld. He Had been tying steel at the top when a big gust of wind blew him off the beam and he fell; as he was falling his new belt got caught on a rivet or spike sticking out of the beam farther down, saving his life
