Bulgarian breast implants have pretty much saved a Russian woman's life after she was attacked with a knife by her husband.

During the attack, the blade wedged in one of the woman's silicone breast implants. The man was apparently aiming for her 40-year-old spouse's heart, but her "large" Bulgarian airbag prevented the blade from even reaching her thorax, Pravda says, as cited by a British tabloid.

The implant "didn't leak" as the result of the assault, and the victim even emerged from her ordeal with her left breast maintaining its "original shape", the report further says.

British website The Register reminds a 2006 case in which a Bulgarian woman driver escaped relatively unscathed from a head-on pile-up with another vehicle when her 40DD breast implants absorbed most of the impact
