An Iowa woman was killed by debris from an explosion at a gender reveal party on Saturday, police said.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call at around 4 p.m. on Saturday reporting that a woman, 56, had been seriously injured in an explosion in rural Knoxville, Iowa, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. The woman, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead on the scene.

An investigation concluded that a gender reveal announcement created an explosion, from which a flying piece of debris struck the woman.

these parties are so dumb

These people need to get a life. “Gender reveal” used to work when the ObGyn at the receiving end would say, “It’s a boy” or “it’s a girl”.

I am NOT reading the article, but it sounds like a one person party. How can that be?

[newfreep]

But the bigger question is...

Can she now identify as alive?

[Vaquero]

I figured they’d have banned tannerite by now.

Wait... all those cyclists are bi?

If this were a metaphor, the whole situation might be really funny ... but as it is, it's very sad for the deceased lady and her family and friends.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the deceased, but when I read the headline, my first thought was of that Denzel Washington animated gif.

Boom!

Gotta Love the spandex (rolls eyes)

They replaced a scalpel with dynamite.

Ouch! Good one!

Is there something going on at these events that I wasn’t aware of?<<

C4 breast implants?

“Gender Reveal”

Sounds disgusting — a transsexual denouement.

Can she now identify as alive?

Only in cities controlled by corrupt democrats

It’s really cool stuff but is very powerful. It does surprise me that you can order it online or walk into Fleet Farm and get as much as you want without any restrictions.

I’m not saying it should be banned, I am just surprised that it is not regulated. In Minnesota I could walk in and buy 10 pounds of the stuff but I can’t buy firecrackers.

Oops

For the purposes of voting Democrat, YES.

Most “gender reveal” parties involve expecting couples announcing the sex of a soon-to-be-born baby.
