Santa’s job isn’t without its risks. Just imagine working under serious time pressure, moving around on snowy roofs in the dark…
In Florida, “Santa Claus” was getting ready for the upcoming Christmas work rush and brushing up on his rappelling technique at a local shopping mall. But the exercise didn’t go exactly as planned. Instead, this poor “Santa” got his beard caught in the descender. We still don’t know if he ever made it down..
Watch the video of Père Noël getting his beard stuck in a descender above!

Poor Santa! I knew his job was risky, but I always thought they magically disappeared.

🙂 I this case poor Santa’s harness and repelling equipment didn’t work too well and he lost his beard too!

I think so, or at least.. I hope so since the video ended before he got all the way down. 🙂
