This happened in Russia. Apparently an experienced climber, dressed as Santa, was intending to climb down a building to a Christmas celebration at the base of the building. Obviously the show/stunt went horribly wrong. Santa is dead in the eyes of children. And the climber who was doing the stunt is actually dead. The climber's wife and child witnessed his death as they were also in the crowd. Not really a great outcome.

A man dressed as the Russian Santa Claus, Grandfather Frost, was the victim of a "monstrous misfortune" as he plunged to his death during a stunt for children.
The man, an experienced industrial climber aged between 25 and 35, had intended to stun children gathered around a Christmas tree by climbing down from a residential high-rise building.
But the amazing surprise turned into tragedy as the red-robed Grandfather Frost fell to his death from the 24th floor.
The climber, who reportedly mixed up his safety ropes, crashed on a snow-covered structure on the first floor of the building - which spared the children the sight of the body.
To add to the horror, the man's wife and his young child were reportedly among those waiting for Grandfather Frost to complete his stunt. . . .
