If this was a trailer being pulled down the road on any given day, I would be inclined to agree with you. However it isn't this is being pulled as part of a parade, where at most the vehicles are moving 1 or 2 mph. as previously posted. Note in the pictures all the adults walking behind and beside the trailer. Should something happen, one quick yell and the whole parade comes to a grinding halt.
I have taken part in parades several times in my life. Both on floats, as well as walking in close proximity to moving vehicles. I quite honestly have always been more afraid and concerned with tripping over my own two feet, or someone elses feet then, worrying about someone falling off a float, or being bumped by a moving vehicle.
People are more safety minded, then you want to give them credit for, especially where this is a parade.....But then again at the rate this country is going, soon sidewalks are going to be padded with foam, as someone might just trip.
