The rider was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Two people have died during parades this week.
A man was struck and killed Saturday night when he was caught between two sections of a tandem float. Earlier in the week, Geraldine Carmouche, 58, died in a similar accident involving a tandem float.
In response to the deaths, city officials have banned all tandem floats for the remainder of the Carnival season.
