Fake boobs save lives’

-

GUNSHOT victims with breast implants have a higher chance of survival than those with natural bosoms, say medics.

Researcher­s fired a gun into ballistic gel, which is similar to muscle tissue, then did the same test with breast implant gel.

They found bullets were unable to penetrate as far through the boob job gel.

Christophe­r Pannucci, a surgeon at the University of Utah who led the study, said: “You can think of them as tiny air bags.”

He added implants can also protect against knives.
