Revealing the gender of your child is typically a very happy occasion, and the moment is celebrated, sometimes wildly in western countries.
But as ¡°gender reveal¡± parties grow in popularity, the desire to make them bigger, more over-the-top and more memorable than ever before has led to some bizarre outcomes, sometimes even resulting in tragedy. But the one we are going to talk about isn't so bad, but it surely didn't go as planned.

One would-be father got whacked in an especially uncomfortable area when the confetti meant to reveal the gender of his baby on the way blasted smack into his groin.
Gemma Bayliffe Newby shared the painfully funny footage to YouTube on Monday, where it has since amassed over 75,000 views.
"From start to finish, everything that could go wrong definitely did," Newby captioned the clip, which began with a candid family moment in the living room.
Gemma asks her daughter what she thinks the baby is, to which the latter replies that it¡¯s a girl. Newby was also heard explaining to her daughter that an explosion of pink would reveal a new sister, while a blue blast would mean a brother.

The little girl counted down from three, as her dad struggled to pop a confetti cannon. Newby, meanwhile, was already releasing a bundle of blue balloons.
"How does this work?" the dad wondered, flipping the device around and accidentally popping the blue burst right right into his groin.
"Oh s***" he yelled, falling to the ground. The big sister-to-be couldn¡¯t help but giggle, proudly clutching the balloons and sprinkling the confetti on her father.
The parents started laughing as well, and asked the girl what the colour meant. She incorrectly said that the blue blast meant the baby would be a girl, and her face fell when her dad said the baby was, in fact, a boy.
