London, Aug 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A 26-year-old woman was struck in the worst possible place during a paintball game. The woman had breast implants and during the game, they ruptured when she was struck in the chest by a pellet. She was playing the game with friends in Croydon, South London when she was struck at close range.

This is the first time in the British media that such a report has been carried. The woman was not named in the report. She is currently recovering after doctors carried out a procedure on her to correct the rupture.

The incident has shocked some cosmetic surgeons who claim that it is very rare for a paintball pellet to cause a breast implant to rupture. The same surprise has been expressed by UK Paintball.

A spokesperson of the organization stated that, “Part of the fun of paintball is that it hurts a bit when you get shot but in all the years we’ve been going we’ve never seen an incident like this. It came as a real surprise to hear that a woman had her implant burst at one of our centres and whilst she’s going to make a full recovery, we want to ensure nothing like this happens ever again.”
