Same with black and white people, and even when the light is good.

From a recent trip to NYC
Hopefully imgur links are kosher: http://imgur.com/a/Yt3ui#0
Some photos I took on a recent trip to NYC. Shot with a Fujifilm X-A1 and a scratched up kit lens (can't recall the specs off the top of my head). Straightened/cropped, but otherwise not manipulated.

Could you size it, properly, please? Or should I call a moderator?

There is a cool feature in Photoshop that lets you create circular images from panoramic shots. The resulting images look like little planets. Takes some practice and time to get better at it. But fun, nevertheless. Here are a few of my first little planets:

not missing anything at all flameswin! You're right, when a bout ends by 'Yorikiri' or 'Oshidashi' winning technique it's quite common for the Rikishi to go flying into the crowd.
The first row is mostly 'Shinpan' (judges), pro photographers and other Rikishi's waiting for their bout so for the most part the public who bought tickets rarely get crushed.
But it does happen; when you buy floor tickets your ticket includes a waiver acknowledging that the Sumo kyokai cannot be held responsible for any injuries caused in this manner. For many though, the injuries are a side thought and they really hope that a Rikishi comes flying into them
