A 24-year-old woman from Bulgaria was saved by her huge breast implants which acted as airbags to absorb the impact when she was involved in a full frontal car crash with another car in the northern city or Ruse, Bulgaria.

According to the Standart newspaper, both cars were total wrecks and the woman, identified as Elena Marinova from the capital Sofia, was badly hurt, but escaped serious injury because of her breast implants.

A police expert told the paper that the 40DD silicone implants "absorbed the impact of the crash,"

The officer adds, "They worked just like airbags - protecting the victim's ribs and vital organs from damage.

"However they are not as safe as the real thing because they exploded, which airbags are not supposed to do."
