A skydiving Kris Kringle crashed into a lamppost on Christmas Day in footage posted online.

Santa Claus is seen parachuting into the Romanian capital of Bucharest in the video.

But he descends too close to the post and the canopy gets caught on a light. He twirls around as he becomes stranded mid-air.

Saint Nick regains his composure, though, and waves to the people on the ground before the video cuts out.
