The Breast Chronicles

Reshaping breasts on the net.


 
1976: A Member of Parliament claimed that curvy women could end up being "hanged" by their seat belt in an accident. Walter Clegg, an MP in England, is fighting to get well-endowed ladies reprieved from having to wear the belts. Mr. Clegg says he has statistics to prove that big-boobed women are threatened by seat belts. "I firmly believe that large ladies should be exempt from the law," he said. "The problem affects women with certain configurations. In the event of a sudden stop their generous curves force the belt to slip up around their neck. In other cases, their boobs could be badly mangled. One woman showed me her breast and it had an awful wound caused by the tightening of a seat belt in a prang." Legislation to make seat belts compulsory is still going through the House of Commons in England. Sunday Observer (Melbourne) 7 Mar 1976 [Wilmar Library ref. 4/53] Credit: Glen Ralph.
