Here’s Sonic having a more successful time in the 2012 parade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back in 1993, during that year’s annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Sonic the Hedgehog float was damaged thanks to high winds and ended up injuring two people as a result. Strangely, footage of the incident has been practically impossible to come by – until now.<\/p>\n

As reported by Kotaku<\/a>, reports of the crash up until this point have used still photographs of the float or videos of it lying on the ground<\/a> after the incident. You’d think someone would have captured the event on film though, right?<\/p>\n

Well, ABC7NY has now shared archive footage of the 1997 Macy\u2019s Parade, where a Cat in the Hat float also injured four people. It’s only shown for the briefest of moments, but tucked away inside the video is a short clip of Sonic’s face bursting on a lamppost before falling to the floor in the 1993 parade. Thankfully, the child and police officer who suffered injuries as a result were OK.<\/p>\n

You can see it all take place from around the 1:37 mark:<\/p>\n
