Today was not a good day for Magic Kingdom parades. The Castle float veered and jack knifed. Another float was hit by a tug and then other floats had to be towed.

As far as I know everyone is okay.

Wow, that is not good. I hope no one got hurt, I wonder if there is going to be a parade tomorrow.

OMG what a day, From the parade and a cast member breaking his neck today, everyone should just leave work early today, and go home.
My prayers are out for these cms

Yes, On the other boards they said a CM from the Pirate tutorial fell onto a brick wall. He broke his neck, dislocated his wrist, needed 55 stiches on his head and is in surgury with a Neurosurgeon now. They also said hes had no signs of paralysis, thank god.

Edit: Sorry he dislocated his finger and broke his wrist

Are you sure about that? I have seen several documentaries on the parades at WDW, I'm pretty sure that each float has a tracking system that is controlled from a central source.

I'm not aware of tracking, to the best of my knowledge they all have drivers (the cm's holding the touches on the route are to help them get around the route.) I do know DHS floats (not sure if MK has them yet) have sensors on them which will make the float EStop if someone touches it where they are not supposed to. (hence why CM's won't allow you cross during the parade, EStop a parade and the whole parade from the float thats stopped onwards is stuck, and it can take a while for maintance to come and fix it.)
