Red and Yellow seem to have a decent start for the 2005 parade, that is until they arrive at Times Square.

While at Times Square, a rope from the balloon got caught on a lamppost that would fall on top of two sisters at 11 and 26 years old, receiving several injuries, but were recovered within several hours.

After the accident, the balloon had to be grounded and removed for the parade. The incident became viral overtime, with the media discussing the event, and rumors spreading that the balloon would be retired making way for new rules much like the Cat in the Hat incident in 1997.
