They started insuring Santa Clauses against beard fires and falling from their sleighs

Insurance company specialists said that actors who play the roles of Father Frost and Snow Maiden in December and January risk serious injury. This is evidenced by the statistics of incidents that have occurred. As it turned out, incidents such as beard fires, food poisoning, fractures and sprains from falling from a sleigh or on stairs, and even an attack by robbers are not uncommon.

So, last New Year’s holidays, Father Frost had to be hospitalized in Shcherbinka near Moscow with fractures, who rolled down the stairs when he went to congratulate a child.

And in Bataysk in the Rostov region, an old poplar tree fell on Father Frost’s car. At that time, the grandfather himself was entertaining the children at the matinee.

In Berdsk several years ago, the Snow Maiden fell out of the sleigh at full speed. Fortunately, the actress escaped with minor bruises.
