A WOMAN with fake boobs was in agony when one implant EXPLODED after she was shot in the chest with a paintball.
The 26-year-old's soft gel implant ruptured under her skin when the ball hit her breast at 190mph.
The bizarre injury is thought to be the first of its kind.
At first the woman thought she had just suffered a painful bruise. But when she went to see a doctor a few days later, he revealed the force of the impact had torn the implant.
A spokesman for UKPaintball — who run the Paintzone Paintball Park near Croydon, South London, where the accident happened — said: "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."
The spokesman said women with fake boobs will be given extra padding in future to prevent similar injuries.
He added: "We want to ensure nothing like this happens ever again.
"We're now providing additional padding around the chest region to any surgically enhanced female participants.
"They just need to contact their local venue, tell them they have fake breasts, let them know their bra size and then the centre will take care of the rest."
Last night Douglas McGeorge, the former president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, revealed the bizarre injury could cost the woman £3,000.
He said: "This is very, very unusual and this woman was very unlucky.
"I imagine she was quite slim because the paintball would have had to pierce the skin to rupture the implant.
"I have heard some odd stories over the years but this is one of the strangest.
"And it could prove very costly. She could have to pay up to £3,000 to get the implant replaced."
