Men! Grown men participating in this idiotic trend. In years past, men handed out cigars to their friends, perhaps with cigar bands stating "It's a boy" or "It's a girl", with their friends offering a quick handshake and grunting a congratulations without making eye contact, but now, we have men blowing themselves up, crashing in planes, electrocuting themselves to pull this grandstanding nonsense.

Women, I can understand women doing this stuff, and all the women learning the gender of the soon-to-be precious bundle squealing in delight, and jumping up and down in apparent elation while actually, secretly hating each other's guts.

But, men! Men! My God! Cut the shit. Your job is as a provider, not a party clown, not some dipshit jumping out of a cake in a pink onesie! Damn! WTF has happened to men??

"A Federal Aviation Administration inspector also reported that there were two people aboard the single seat plane."

The stupid was quite strong with these folks.

Such dumb crap. My wife knew better than to even consider asking me about doing anything at all with a "gender reveal party." Thankfully she thinks it's just as retarded.

In fact, we didn't find out the sex of our 2nd daughter until after she was born.

Exactly, grown men doing this nonsense. My god.

A 20 year old AT 602 might be worth $500K; these are turbine engine single place planes like this >>


Idiot- low and slow for no good reason.

But that’s the problem. They’re only grown men physically, not mentally.

I’m always amazed at how they can even make it to work and back in one piece.

Idiots... I'm thinking we should encourage MORE of this. Hopefully it will result in some cleansing...

^^^^^^^^
What he said.

This kind of stuff doesn't happen in California (they don't know what a gender is).

If you're interested in researching the stupidity Para is talking about google "gender reveal party disasters". Explosives seem to be a popular theme. What could possibly go wrong with that idea

You shouldn't even ask her until she is at least 12-13 years old.

I was expecting a Piper Cub or a tiny "sport" plane. What an idiot pilot, that turbine crop-duster is quite capable and probably has a very low stall speed.

He should have been dropping gender reveal pipe-bombs instead then parachuted in and shot people with pink paint balls in a gender-reveal raid!

There was another incident recently with this couple that built what was essentially a large pipe bomb with a pink or blue powder inside and it actually killed one of the grandmothers-to-be when it exploded.

I just called my parents when we knew which sex they were. No planes. No fanfare. No attention whoring. Of course I grew up before the internet and social look at me media.

Gender is for language and grammar.

Wow! Another person who agrees with me about "gender"! I've been denouncing its use instead of "sex" for years.

Another example of how stupid we have become as a society.
I would guess they chose a crop dusting aircraft for its ability to drop liquids.
When an acquaintance would announce an impending birth in his or her family, I would offer my condolences.
Zero interest in other developments or information.

Not me. 350 gal. of water weighs over 2,800 lb. That takes some serious power to even get off of ground.

You can act like a man.
