(CNN) — A pilot has died after the plane he was flying as part of a gender reveal party in Mexico crashed on Sunday. Alan Francisco Rangel of the Sinaloa Red Cross told CNN that paramedics treated the pilot at the crash site in San Pedro, Navolato and then took him to a local hospital, where he died. Gender reveal parties were conceived as a fun way of telling family and friends whether they were about to welcome a girl or a boy into the world. And in Iowa in October 2019, a gender reveal party went south when the family unintentionally built a pipe bomb. When the device went off the entire pipe exploded, sending shrapnel flying that hit and killed a grandmother standing nearby.
