Earlier today, two riders fell from Krewe of Thoth floats in separate instances during its parade route. These reports come nearly 24 hours after a man was killed during Krewe of Endymion after he was hit by a tandem float, and just a few days after a woman died after being hit by a tandem float in the Nyx parade.
