Relationship between Santa's Weight and Roofs


In a child's fairy tale, it is said that Santa Claus with his wagon train will cross the roof of the house to distribute gifts on Christmas Eve.

The boy's tale became a "trivial but important" research material by Swedish construction company NCC. In their research, they calculated the relationship between the weight of Santa Claus and the average resilience of a rooftop in Sweden.


NCC estimates, if Santa Claus weighs 150 pounds. Not only the body weight, Santa Claus also brought a stag car containing 200 thousand tons of gifts for 2 billion children in the world in one trip. From the NCC calculations, it was concluded that the average resilience of the rooftops in Sweden was felt to be able to withstand the burden of Santa Claus and his wagon train, provided that Santa Claus did not carry thousands of tons of gifts at once in one trip to distribute the gifts. NCC recommends, Santa only brought 50 kilograms of gifts per one route around the gift sharing in Sweden, so that the activity was not to damage the roof of the house.

Santa is also asked not to make a deer train landing in a hurry, although the NCC calculates that the roof of the house in Sweden on average able to withstand 50 percent pressure from heavy objects that suddenly hit.

"From the fairy tale of Santa Claus, we do a calculation of the average strength of rooftops in Sweden. The results are as mentioned above, "said Thomas Lecher, a construction designer from the NCC.


"From the results of this calculation, we suggest Santa is not bringing too many gifts per once around and not landing in a hurry. But we believe he used his Christmas miracle to do that, "Lecher concluded.
