This day in history: On this day in 2019, Pamela Kreimeyer, 56, of Marion County, Iowa, was killed during an explosion at a gender reveal party. In an attempt to film a gender reveal worthy of posting online, members of her family filled a steel umbrella stand with gunpowder. Instead of emitting a shower of sparks as intended, the metal pipe failed to contain the overpressure, and the device acted as a pipe bomb instead. Kreimeyer was struck in the head by a metal fragment and was killed instantly.
This was not the only time someone died at a gender reveal party.
In 2021, four people died at gender reveal parties. Two pilots died in a plane crash in Cancun Mexico.
In 2020, a gender reveal party in El Dorado, California started a fire that burned 22,000 acres and killed a firefighter.
In Mexico, a pilot died after crashing a plane during a gender reveal party.
