"He toppled," A woman watching the parade said afterward. "He hit the side of the float, caught himself and then fell down."
WWL Louisiana Photographer Adam Ney captured footage of the rider standing up amid a crowd of law enforcement and onlookers. The parade appeared to continue rolling once the man stood up.
The man fell at around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, at the intersection of Causeway and Veterans Boulevard.
Jefferson Parish Councilman At-Large Scott Walker confirmed Tuesday afternoon the reports that a man had fallen from a Krewe of Argus float.
