El Reg reports Brassiere belays boob-bound bullet, begetting bruised breastbone
[A] woman, who was cycling through Germany's least densely populated state of Mecklenberg-Western Pomerania, was saved by the wire lining of her bra, reported Germany's Gadebusch-Rehnaer Zeitung.
[A] couple had chosen to cycle across a field between the towns of Gadebusch and Kochelstor in Germany, when they unwittingly entered a conflict between man and beast.
Feeling a sudden pain in her chest, and glancing thither, she noted that she'd been struck by a rebounded shot and was saved only by the underwire of her brassiere, leaving her with but a bruise.
The minimalist technology involved surprised me. I expected something much more exotic.

I concur. I've been hit by a ricochet of a large bore (7.62mm) round. If most of the energy had not already been expended, I wouldn't be here, now.
The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
