New Delhi: Going under the knife for breast implants is a procedure made famous by celebrities to enhance their bodies. Due to that, many young girls and women are going in for the surgeries.
Although, many are against women undergoing body enhancement surgeries like these, researchers in a bizarre statement have said that breast implants can actually safeguard you from bullets!
The implants can lessen the impact of gunshot wounds by slowing down the bullet, they said. As per a report in the Deccan Chronicle, researchers behind this bizarre experiment say that having fitted with the enhancements could be the difference between life or death.
According to the study, bullets travel considerably lesser, up to 20 percent less far, when travelling through implants, thus reducing the risk of organ damage.
There have been cases in recent years where women have claimed that their implants saved their life and to test whether there was any truth to these claims, the University of Utah researchers conducted this bizarre experiment, the New Scientist reported.
They analysed the damage of bullets shot into a synthetic gel similar to human tissue, and whether a breast implant could slow it down and found out that implants almost acted as tiny airbags slowing down the bullet, Deccan Chronicle added.
