El Reg reports Brassiere belays boob-bound bullet, begetting bruised breastbone [theregister.co.uk]
[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 [www.svz.de] Germany's Gadebusch-Rehnaer Zeitung.
[A] couple had chosen to cycle across a field between the towns of Gadebusch and K\u00f6chelstor 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 [clevelandwomen.com].
