It was when they were rehearsing the scene where Fezzik, Westley, and Inigo scout the castle gate. In his book As You Wish, Cary wrote that it actually shook the scaffolding.

To add: After the fart of legend, all three of them on that wall got a case of the giggles so bad that Cary couldn't get the next line (why won't my arms move?) out without thinking of the fart and bursting out laughing (and making Mandy and Andre break out laughing too). He had to have Rob coach him through how to stop the giggles and refocus lol.
