“#Father-To-Be Instantly Killed In Explosion While Building Gender Reveal Device
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019re sad to report yet another gender reveal-related death.<\/p>\n

A 28-year-old mechanic and first time father-to-be was killed on Sunday after an explosive contraption he was building for a gender reveal party accidentally went off right in front of him.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Christopher Pekny<\/strong> was building the device in his garage in Liberty, NY with his 27-year-old brother Michael<\/strong> just before noon when it suddenly detonated. The younger brother was injured and rushed to the hospital, but Christopher was killed instantly.<\/p>\n

While investigators are looking into what caused the explosion, police believe it was due to a kind of pipe intended for use at an upcoming gender reveal event. Christopher\u2019s older brother Peter<\/strong> told the New York Times<\/em> that both siblings were \u201cvery mechanically inclined\u201d, and that Christopher was a brilliant mechanic who liked to take apart and rebuild cars. He said of the pair:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you could think of any two people who were the closest two people \u2014 amplify that tenfold\u2026 [it was] the freakiest of freak accidents that I could ever imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So unspeakably tragic.<\/p>\n

Peter said he found out that his little brother and sister-in-law were expecting a baby boy shortly before Christmas, so the gender reveal was likely supposed to be for the entertainment of other loved ones. Peter added of his late brother:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really looking forward to starting a family. He was really starting to settle down and grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, deaths involving gender reveal announcements have become a growing phenomenon over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a 26-year-old Michigan man was killed when a signal cannon at a baby shower exploded. Back in September, a firefighter died from California\u2019s El Dorado wildfire \u2014 which investigators say was sparked by a smoke generating-device at a gender reveal party. In October 2019, a 56-year-old grandmother in Knoxville, Iowa was killed by \u201ca flying piece of debris\u201d at a gender reveal party when the family inadvertently built a pipe bomb, according to the Marion County Sheriff\u2019s Office. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other gender reveal parties may have not cost lives, but they caused serious community wreckage. In 2017, an off-duty border patrol agent shot an explosive canister filled with blue powder and accidentally started a 47,000 acre fire that cost more than $8 million in damage.<\/p>\n

How many more tragedies must happ<\/a>en before we retire use of explosives in gender reveal parties?\n<\/p><\/div>\n
