Yes, I think the same thing happened to everyone in the ravine. When it happened, they were all together and they all got hurt at the same time. I also think that Slobodin's injury occurred where he was found. Only Dyatlov's location looks like he didn't get there on his own. That back position is so weird.
There's just one problem with that, Slobodin had multiple head injuries, like he fell down over and over again. I guess that fits with your theory if you believe that mesh picture is him and Zolotaryov doubled back, however according to the bodies' locations (for those that don't believe that picture is him), the only person really capable of bashing him on the spot he fell was Zina.
What multiple head injuries did Slobidin have ? The photo negative is a tiny part of the photo , that shows no detail of foreground with equal definition of tone , photography film doesn't work like that , you can't have focus definition and none at the same time.
Slobidin has a small fracture , not massive head trauma?
I'm going by the autopsy where it's stated it looks like he fell on his head over and over.
"Boris Alekseevich Vozrozhdenniy suggested that the fracture in his skull could be done with some blunt object. Medical autopsy further states that Slobodin probably suffered loss of coordination due to initial shock right after the blow that could speed up his death from hypothermia. However the conclusion is predictably careful. Death of Rustem Slobodin is judged as a result from hypothermia. All bruises and scratches were blamed on last minute agony. Although it is still somewhat unclear how did he manage to harm his exterior hands and legs. When the person falls even in an irrational state it is usually the palms that suffer the most as well as medial aspects of the legs. Injury to the head are less common, especially bilateral ones. It is also unusual to harm the face and sides of the skull while the back of the head has no damage. In case of Slobodin's body we see the opposite. His injury pattern is a reverse of what we would usually see in injuries suffered by a freezing man in the last minutes of his life. It looks as if Rustem fell repeatedly on his face as he was walking down the mountain. And every time he fell he managed to hit the sides of the his head." https://dyatlovpass.com/death?flp=1#Slobodin
It does not say that in the autopsy, what you quote is the author of the interpretation of the autopsy in the link. The autopsy concludes the below statement and nothing more or less.
The autopsy concludes this.

CONCLUSION
Based on the data of the examination of the body of Slobodin Rustem Vladimirovich, 23 years old, and considering the circumstances of the case, I believe that the death of Slobodin was caused by the action of low temperature/freezing, which is evidenced by the swelling of the meninges, the blood-filled internal organs, the Wischnewsky spots on the gastric mucosa, and the third- and fourth-degree freezing of the fingers.
The fracture of the left frontal lobe bone could have occurred during a fall by Slobodin or the impact of the head on a hard object such as rocks, ice, etc. A blunt object caused the above-mentioned trauma. When this happened it would have caused Slobodin to become stunned and allowed for his rapid freezing. The absence of explicit bleeding under the meninges allows for the assumption that Slobodin’s death came as a result of his freezing.
The injuries found on Slobodin’s body in the form of abrasions, scrapes and graze wounds were caused by a blunt object as the result of a fall or injury on rocks, ice, etc.
The damage was caused during life, as well as in the agonal state and post mortem.
The data of the examination of Slobodin’s body allows for the presumption that his last meal was 6-8 hours before the time of death. The presence of alcohol was not detected during the examination.

Taking account these injuries, in the first hour after they happened Slobodin was able to move and crawl.
Slobodin’s death was violent and accidental.

Again he links the above as evidence of freezing .

It goes on to say.
"

This is a bit more difficult to interpret and is confusing, if he got hit on the head by someone else or an explosion, there should be explicit bleeding. Explicit :
The meaning of EXPLICIT is fully revealed or expressed without vagueness, implication, or ambiguity : leaving no question as to meaningThe absence of "explicit" bleeding under the meninges, suggests freezing , it's a double statement I suppose. He banged his head( or got hit on the head) and that left him to freeze but he froze so quick that it didn't allow bleeding ?. ( There are some more modern evidence based research that notes fractures of the skull can be a result of freezing).
The statement notes that Slobidin was potential able to move and crawl for an hour.
The abrasions on hands etc are all consistent with hypothermia and fighting for survival. The hands become frozen fists and the palm does not reach out to catch the fall, it is knuckle and outer sides of the hand that inherits the friction of ice and gravity, the limbs and joints start to freeze to the point where a determined individual will crawl to where salvation may await . No where does it state he fell on his head over and over , in any document.
