It's been a long time but isn't the ride photo for ToT before the first drop? Easy enough to avoid the seatbelt if the CM isn't paying attention but if the photo is real and my memory of where the photo is taken is correct then he must be hanging from something above.

Also, someone would have had to seriously plan a serious visual hoodwink of the load operator on the ride (having a fake seatbelt with yellow strap that the rider would "tug" on). Not that it couldn't be done - it would just require prior planning.

Right, good point on it being pre-drop, but Alex is also right that he could be hanging from something. As for the seatbelt, all you have to do is pull the seatbelt all the way out, connect it, then hold the slack in your hand or tuck it under your leg so that the belt looks like it's across your lap. Tug the yellow tag, then once the ride is moving, slip out.

Errr, I mean keep your hands arms feet and legs and all that.

Also, the only ones who look like they are actually experiencing any kind of falling are the three dorks in the back. The Jaws older guy looks too calm and the people in the front look like they're having a conversation. The kid's holding his ears because of the screaming. I never have seen anyone put their hands over their ears during the fall. They're usually hands up, posing or grasping their armrests... I can't see a kid that age doing a pose during the pic... (But I could be wrong.) This picture was possibly taken by a CM because it looks like all of the seats are taken, well, one could be vacant... Also, a lady is holding her handbag. Don't they have Star Tours rules at ToT to store everything first under your seats? (Not sure, I've never carried something on ToT,) The guy in "the air" is most likely hanging from one of the overhead beams, caging etc.

Again, they could be hamming it up for the camera

That is a VERY common thing kids who are uncomfortable do. When Theo's in his crib and upset, that's exactly what he does with his hands.

That's what I said.
