Caption challenge: just hanging about

The Mayor of London got into a spot of bother this week when he got stuck dangling from a zip wire ride.

After an enthusiastic start, he found himself hanging awkwardly from the attraction in Victoria Park, near the Olympic venue, shortly after celebrating Team GB's first gold medal.

It's not the first embarrassing blunder involving the eccentric politician - in 2009 he was snapped falling into a river at an event promoting the work of volunteers.

With a catalogue of such slip-ups behind him, it seemed almost unfair to pick on Boris as the subject of a further caption challenge (you had some great suggestions for this picture on Olympic security) but we liked this week's photo so much that we couldn't resist, and we're sure that you will come up with some witty words to match it!

Our thanks for your entries for last week’s challenge, on the visitor centre at Bannockburn.
