My father used to chuckle whenever he'd see a photographer loaded down 
with several bodies, bags  and such. He commented several times that in 
the days of the Speed Graphic, a press photographer with the camera, a 
few holders and flash bulbs in their pockets never had back problems. 
Then the 35mm came along and many began carrying so much extra gear that 
they developed bad backs from the weight. If the young man in the 
picture doesn't have a bad back now, it's only a matter of time before 
he does if that's his "normal" load.
