It could seriously happen to anyone.  Yeah one minute your flying around in a balloon throwing Christmas candy to school kids, next your pilot falls out of the balloon and your flying all around Utah with no way to land that baby.  Here’s the story courtesy of the good folks at NPR.

If only Santa was as good with hot air balloons as with reindeer sleighs.

A man in a Santa outfit took a wild ride through Utah skies Christmas Eve when his balloon took off without a pilot.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Santa was tossing candy to kids from the balloon during a Midvalley Elementary School fundraiser when the craft landed too hard and the pilot tumbled out.

That left Santa alone and the lighter balloon shot back into the air.

Police Sgt. Torin Chambers says Santa traveled 1.7 miles across Midvale before the craft lost enough air to come down.

A crowd at the school tailed the balloon through town and helped hold it down once it landed.

Chambers says neither Santa nor the pilot were hurt. “Santa’s fine and everything’s good
