In Unknown Artist’s defense, none of the ladies seems to be slipping on a broken ankle and begging for help.At left, you’ll note the lady is trying to push the slipping gentleman out of the way so that his saltatory companion doesn’t Super Mario the poor fellow into mush.
Why is the guy in front equipped with a helmet (and why does it have a honeycomb pattern?) and a breather thingy when everyone else is bareheaded and have no other equipment? At best they’ve got a hood attached to their unitard, like speed skaters. Except for the poor woman upper left who might be starkers.
