During halftime of the Houston Rockets – Chicago Bulls game, some high flying Kris Kringle’s showed off their moves and were throwing down dunks for our entertainment. Unfortunately for one of the Santa Claus lookalikes, the trampoline gave him too much of an extra boost and the outcome wasn’t what he had hoped for.

The Santa Claus overshot his mark and came up with a face full of rim. The remaining Santa’s went on without missing a beat.

Here is video of the incident:

I guess that’s why Santa is always led by his reindeer. Without the trusty Rudolph guiding his sleigh, Santa ends up flying off course.
