The Golden State Warriors are no strangers to championship parades -- Monday's parade was their fourth in eight years.
However, this was their first victory parade since moving into new digs in San Francisco. Just like at any other events in the city, safety and security were of high priority during the celebratory parade.
Due to the massive crowds, there were a few mishaps along the way and toward the end of the parade. But for the most part, players and fans alike enjoyed the parade in a safe manner.

But the Warriors weren't shy about hyping up their fans.
Draymond Green, Shawn Livington, Gary Payton and even coach Steve Kerr were seen high fiving and signing just about everything they were handed.
"We're doing great," said fan Dell Chapman. "Just got Steve Kerr's signature. We're having a great time at the parade."
While most people chose to watch the parade from the ground, a few fans decided to look for more creative vantage points such as on top of a plexiglass bus stop or on traffic signals.
