I've been living in New Orleans my whole life. Maybe once every 15 years or so I remember hearing about such a tragedy, but this year it happened TWICE!!!

What in the world are these people thinking getting in FRONT or BETWEEN a large float? They only go about 5mph, you can definitely run/walk faster than the float is going most of the time.
Also, They just announced that tandem floats will be banned for the rest of this parade season.
PS: I was at Endymion earlier today, everything was great, the police were doing a great job of telling people to clear the road etc. They wouldn't allow people to cross the road even though there were kids on my side with their grandparents, and their mom came later and was across the street. Told them, "no ma'am, you have to go all the way down carrolton where the parade turns and make your way back."
