Kelly Lee Dekay

As striking as Dekay's figure is, there are many risks involved. There is not much room for the internal organs, so they are forced to move as the rib cage tightens, the Mirror reports. In addition, breathing can be difficult since the lungs are not able to expand to their full capacity.
Dekay admits wearing a corset makes it difficult for her climb stairs or lift heavy objects, but she has worn it during other physical activities.
"I actually did hiking in my corset and that's very dangerous. I also played soft ball in a corset once, that was an interesting feeling, but I don't go to the gym in a corset -- that's really dangerous because I do weight lifting. But if I do want to do something extreme, I don't limit myself. If I have to be out of my corset, then I'm out of it."
