Fair enough, i do agree there are choke points. I’m amazed this doesn’t happen more often tbh.
Honestly, I agree but.... it’s incredibly rare across a huge timeline with millions and of data points.

I've walked alongside the Spanish Town parade before as "security"
Seems like a good option here

Well would you rather get shot or run over by a float?
The only way I’m getting stuck in a float tandem is if someone intentionally pushed me into it or I had some severe medical situation that caused me to move 20+ feet into the path.

Couldn’t they like just put some flexible mesh barricade connecting the floats????? Ban floats. Wow.

Yet the politicians and lawyers will ignore all logic.

How do you get hit when it just happened 2 nights ago and was all over the news? That should tell people to be more careful.

Bringing back Flambeaus would help.

Just saw on WWL that an Endmyion rider was throwing fake dollar bills and people crowded the area and he got pushed down

Funny the quick reaction to people getting hit by floats but shootings, car break-ins, window smashings etc etc etc. and it’s crickets

The only other option is riding a giraffe through the crowd.

I was on the other side of UMC just got off my shift and caught float 5-13. Decided to not go to galvez side because it was an open spot where I walked to.
When it was canceled, a guy was rolled on a wagon unconscious by 4-5 other people going through the parking garage. I helped them get him into the ED and left after they got him inside since staff physicians came. Hope that wasn't him...

Sadly just heard from a couple of NOPD officers on the route the parade will now be cancelled similar to Nyx.
Oh man, that's a tough blow. Hope you and your family are ok.
