1995

 * The Crow T. Robot balloon managed to snag on a tree, but was freed.

1997

 * The Crow T. Robot balloon was severely damaged, almost to the extent of Barney, after it's side was ripped apart by a streetlight in Hell's Kitchen. Crow didn't finish the parade, and was immediately retired due to his damages. He was presented in his NBC appearance via footage from 1996, his handlers would help to handle the Rugrats balloon.
 * In his debut, Squire Flicker managed to snag on a powerline, but was freed. He made it to the end of the parade.

2002

 * During the Monster Jam performance at, a brake part from Team Meents broke off the truck and was launched into the crowd, striking a parade-goer. He was airlifted to but wasn't seriously injured.

2004

 * Matthias slammed into a building on Broadway but ended up bouncing back with no damage done to the balloon.
 * The Harry Potter balloon had it's side cut open by a streetlight in, prompting the NYPD to stab the balloon until it was deflated. He was presented in the NBC telecast via footage from 2003. Harry didn't finish the parade, his handlers would help to handle the Sagwa balloon. The 2003 Harry was repaired in time for the 2005 parade.
 * Avenger Chuck E. Cheese lost control at Columbus Circle and ended up being speared and deflated on a lamppost. The NYPD had to stab the balloon until it was completely deflated before it could go out of control even further. Chuck E. didn't finish the parade, his handlers would help to handle the Sagwa balloon.
 * Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat had some issues with wind during her march, with other balloon handlers from the deflated Harry Potter and Avenger Chuck E. Cheese balloons, and even crew members for Grave Digger, joining in to hold on to Sagwa as the parade went on. Despite her butterfly being partially deflated, she made it to the end of the parade.

2005

 * As the first balloons based off the same franchise to follow each other in their positions in the parade, it was hard for Fur Foot and Beauty Stem to stay together, but both made it to the end of the parade.
