Presumably he broke his ankles a short while after breaking the stay.

The most terrifying event I recall at St Paul's was when the tenor rope
broke below the sally at a practice.  It whipped and flailed around the
ringing chamber.  Eventually, someone (I think it was Michael Moreton)
got hold of the rope and eventually got the bell down.  Brave man!
Everyone else was terrified.  No doubt there are others on this list who
remember the occasion.  Can anyone say more or less when it was?
Probably in the 60s.
