This is one case where video would be much more instructive than a photograph. That placement looked and felt absolutely bomber when tested by hand in the direction of load (i.e, several good, solid sideways tugs.) The rock was so pathetic that under load the material holding the piece in place just gave way like it wasn't there. Same placement in more solid rock would have yielded a very different result.
