Jessica Bruinsma was saved by her sports bra on Monday after being stranded in the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden,
Bruinsma, an American hiker, fell 16.4 feet to a rocky overhang, where she spent the next 70 hours on the narrow ledge. Luckily, she survived off of water she found by breaking into a supply box on the ledge.
Bruinsma badly bruised her leg and dislocated her shoulder in the fall, and the cliff was too isolated for her to climb free.
An Alpine rescue team, including five helicopters and 80 emergency workers, had been searching for Bruinsma since she went missing June 16 after losing her way in bad weather while hiking with a friend near the Austrian border, according the Associated Press news outlet.
Bruinsma attracted the attention of lumberjacks by attaching her sports bra to a cable used to move timber down the mountain. The cable was out of service at the time, but when the workers got back to work, they saw the bra.
