While we definitely do not recommend using breast implants as a protective shield against accidents and mishaps, nor should they be used for anything other than cosmetic improvement of the breast contour, we thought these news stories were interesting.

A Bulgarian woman was saved by her implants in a serious car crash.

Acting in the same nature as airbags, the implants provided her enough protection so that her vital organs and ribs remained unscathed. Though the implants exploded and had to be replaced, she was saved from more fatal wounds. Did we mention that she was a 40DD?

Another one:

An Israeli woman was saved by her silicone implants when shrapnel from a rocket attack was absorbed by her implants. She did not suffer from deeper wounds, however it was necessary to replace the implant.
