I gather from the reference to "Charlie" that this is the Apollo 16 mission of April 1972. The lunar landing was done on the highlands, and it originally was theorized that this was volcanic geology but the astronauts discovered it was not volcanic ground but rock-strewn (apparently from meteorites). This meant that the ground underfoot was less steady than anticipated. I don't see evidence of any sort of Peter Pan wires. What I see is an astronaut (either John Young or Ken Mattingly) having to bend and kneel in a space suit which probably was not completely flexible - with some reason to be nervous if a rock should puncture the suit. In bending over and the like, this astronaut is doing things in the much reduced lunar gravity that he probably had little opportunity to practice. It also means in the lunar gravity that his various muscle movements have results he did not fully anticipate. In fact, from the many turns this astronaut is making, any sort of Peter Pan wires would have been hopelessly tangled.
