Video: Santa stuck in power lines rescued, fire dept says he’s now ‘full of good cheer'

A man dressed as Santa Claus recently had to be rescued after he got stuck in power lines as he crashed his aircraft in California. According to the New York Post, the man had been using a motorised personal aircraft in a bid to deliver candy and gifts to children in a suburb of Sacramento when his aircraft crashed. While taking to social media, the California Highway Patrol shared pictures of the Santa dangling upside down high above a street in an ultralight-type aircraft “sleigh” with his red, white and blue parachute tangled in the lines. In the caption, the CHP wrote, “We typically don’t respond to a “Rudolph lane-changed me” call, but when you get multiple calls... it’s best to go check it out. Turns out Santa was trying to get some last-minute fun in before the holiday and got into a hot wire situation. Don’t worry!... he wasn’t hurt and @metro_fire_sacramento is helping him down”.

According to reports, the Santa was left hanging for at least an hour, with power cut at least 200 homes before he could finally be rescued. The Metro Fire of Sacramento shared the footage of the fully suited Santa finally being lowered to safety. The department informed that the Santa is uninjured and will be ready for Christmas. While speaking to reporters, fire department head Chris Vestal said that Santa was out, practising his approaches and his take-offs to make sure that on Christmas Day he can deliver on his promises for all kids throughout Sacramento, and really the whole world. Vestal also said that Santa’s “Sleigh” lost power on takeoff near a school in Rio Linda, California.
