Maybe it is just the angle, but why are the kids jumping out those windows and not the ones that seem to be directly over the mattresses? I guess this shows my age: my first reaction was to ensure these kiddos were safe! It does look wicked fun!!

They aren't falling straight down.

Those windows seem easier (even safer) to climb than the others where they would have to support themselves on the frame.

What about the kid who is actively falling straight down?

You say that based on Doppler effect or you have more frames?

He's clearly facing a diagonal that will lead to the mattresses. People usually jump on the direction they are facing, but there isn't enough information on the image to tell if he's doing the things people do most of the time or if he's laughing after jumping to his death in a very unusual position.

I don't know what's going on haha but it looks to me like the kid is jumping beside the mattresses which is kinda funny.

They might be trying to do a roll on impact, so horizontal momentum might be intended.
