Life-saving, really?

How much impact can a bra-wire really stop? To my best knowledge*), they are similar in gauge to coat hangers meaning that the bullet did not have much energy left at the time and therefore would be very unlikely to kill the lady, even if she had been topless.

Bu never let facts spoil a good story ;-)

*) Mainly based on hanging the household laundry. Should do some more research...
