Jessica Bruinsma Rescued in Alps After Using Sports Bra for Signal

“She’s a very smart girl, and she acted very resourcefully. She kept her shirt and jacket for warmth, but thought the sports bra could work as a signal,” said Rasp.

Bruinsma was hiking with a friend near the Austrian border on June 16 when she lost her way in bad weather. She fell nearly 17 feet to a overhang where she spent the next 70 hours. Bruinsma attached her bra to the cable, which was only a few feet away, and a worker found it when the cable car began moving up the mountain.

The worker heard of a missing woman in the Alps and contacted police. Officers followed the line up the mountain in a helicopter and rescued Bruinsma. She suffered a bruised leg and dislocated shoulder.
