With these bigger floats there are few streets that they can go down, remember height is an issue as well.

They will sit until the street reopens and then they will go down the route until they turn off to go back to their den.

Just unload all the riders and let the floats sit there until the scene is open and let them drive through then.

Rider on 23 confirms. They were told they will be arrested for trying to get off float. Have to ride float to some end point. Went to that spot and all the sides have power lines too low. No place to go until site clear unless some baw can reverse 20 tandem floats without a hitch on the backside.

Don’t know if any details but rider said the person that died was split in two.

That’s insane, I can’t believe they would actually arrest someone for getting off

The rider got off the float. He tried to cross between the floats. The tractor pulled forward. He was crushed.

You better be sure your “source” is correct before you post something like that.

Thats fricking stupid. I know that there’s city ordinance prohibiting riders from getting off their floats on the parade route, but you’d think they could make an exception for this. Besides the cops getting statements from the riders on the float that actually ran over the lady, there’s no reason to hold all the other floats full of riders hostage indefinitely until investigators finish and get the scene cleaned up to reopen the street.

I was on my way to pick up rider from 23. She says she was ordered that jail or hospital is only way she’s getting off. They were sitting on float with no power. All tractors were turned off.
