From the looks of it, they arent supporting all their weight on their feet.
they all have some kind of tube connected to their backs, that I assume connects them to their user. you can see at 1:16 of this video that the users have a similar tube connected to their backs as well. I also assume that it serves to help keep them balanced and stable as well.
