Women with fake breasts playing paintball in Britain are being offered extra protection after a 26-year-old ruptured a breast while last weekend, the Croyden Guardian reports.

The incident happened at the UK Paintball centre in Whyteleafe on Saturday (UK time), in what is believe to be the first such incident in the country.

Following the incident, the centre is now offering extra padding for woman with breast implants, and warning customers paintballs can damage or rupture implants.

"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," a spokesperson for UK Paintball told the Croyden Guardian.

"The incident has been a real wakeup call and nobody should ever feel worried for their safety during a game of paintball.

"But it's worth remembering that having bigger breasts will make you an easier target for your enemies."
