New Years Day
1 Do not try to rescue the balloon.
Stay clear of the street and the balloon operators. Balloons and their handlers need lots of space to maneuver. Never attempt to pull on any ropes, and do not poke or prod any balloon.
2 Avoid lampposts and traffic lights.
The most immediate risk is that the runaway balloon may knock over a traffic light or lamppost, which may strike people standing below; stay away from these objects.
3 Do not panic.
A stampeding crowd is a greater threat than a renegade balloon.
4 Evacuate the area.
Seek safety away from the parade route, if you have time. You may take immediate shelter in a building or subway station.
