I mean in the video you can clearly see the two legs being dragged by the float.

Watching the video it looks like he was dragged a ways under the float, you can see the rider on the far left of the frame point to him first but by the time they stop the cop walks toward the guy and he goes quite a bit to the right.

It wasn't gruesome, he was laying face down, most of his body was underneath the float.

Impact on his chest/lung area likely killed him. I’m guessing.

Theres a guy standing with it looks like a kid. As the dudes on the float cone into the picture screaming get him get him you can see two things protruding from underneath the float right to the right of the leg of the gentleman. They are the feet of the deceased.

Again. How you get hit by a float? Much less get so far underneath and dragged.

Damn I see it now. I wonder if he was from the area? There are few things I remember more about Mardi Gras growing up than my parents constantly telling us to not chase anything.

And even as an adult fricked up out of my mind, I still followed those lessons.

What a pointless, ridiculous disruption.

And, coming from me, this should say something, the man fell in front of a Train, he was aware the train was there, and as tragic as it is it does not cancel the party for everyone else,


The show must go on,

It’s not like the float ran him down. If you fall in front of one the wheels it’s over.

Or you slip on some beads as you bend over and fall.

Slipping head first seems odd.

I don’t really see much in the video but just the reactions are horrible.

Probably fell over reaching for something because he was drunk.
