Accidents and attacks[edit]
There have been several cases where the underwire from a bra has helped deflect bullets or other objects, saving the wearer’s life. In 1996, the underwire of a girl’s bra helped save her life when she was impaled on a railing and, according to hospital personnel, the underwire from her bra probably helped deflect the spike from her heart.[53]There have been multiple incidents where bullets were deflected by the underwire of a woman’s bra, either keeping her entirely from harm, or directing the bullet away from the heart to another part of the body.[54] One such incident occurred in 2004 when a stray bullet shot by a member of the Ghetto Boys hit the narrow metal wire in Helen Kelly’s bra and was deflected away from her heart.[1] In 2008, a robbery victim was saved from being stabbed in the chest when the attacker’s knife was caught and deflected by the underwire of her bra.[2]
