A 26-year-old Beijing woman's breast implant exploded after she spent four continuous hours lying on her stomach and playing video games on her cell phone.
The unidentified woman rushed to a hospital in Beijing after she suffered pain in her chest. On reaching the hospital she found that her breast implants had exploded due to lying on her chest for four contiguous hours while playing Dragon Summon on her iphone.
On proper examination, the doctors declared that the low quality of implant, combined with the prolonged pressure of lying on the stomach for an extended period of time led to the rupture of the breast implants, reports SZ News.
The woman had undergone a breast augmentation surgery five years ago to boost her low self esteem. The doctors responded quickly and took out the ruptured implants before her condition got worse.
A similar incident of breast implant explosion occurred in 2011 in Croydon, south London, when a 26- year-old woman's breast implant ruptured when she got shot in the chest with a paintball. It was only after two days that the woman got to know about her injury after the doctors examined her.
It was after this incident that U.K. Paintball altered its policies, stating that women with surgical breast implants should wear extra padding to protect implants while paintballing.
"We respectfully ask that any ladies with surgical breast implants notify our team at the time of booking. You will be given special information on the dangers of paintballing with enhanced boobs and asked to sign a disclaimer," it added.
In the year 2012, a woman from Texas filed a lawsuit stating her breast implants exploded due to the excessive force used by a police officer on her arrest.
