The pilot was engaged in dropping sweets at a children's Christmas party. As the pilot was completing the third run over the area at an altitude of about 50 feet, the cord on the sweet bag became tangled.

The aircraft descended and the left wing struck a tree, it continued on colliding with a power line before coming to rest on the verandah of a house.
