Santa Claus should stick with his reindeer and sleigh. A California man who dressed up as jolly old Saint Nick and took to the skies above Sacramento with his paraglider to spread Christmas cheer had to be rescued Sunday after becoming entangled in power lines.

The man was using a "hyper light" in Rio Linda when he flew too low and hit the power lines around 11 a.m., Metro Fire of Sacramento said.

The department released video of the rescue showing the man dressed as Santa in the pilot’s seat of the fan-powered aircraft as it dangles above the street.

Firefighters used a fire truck ladder to reach the man and bring him down safely just after 1 p.m. The man dressed as Santa was not injured.
