Jessica Bruinsma got lost in the Bavarian Alps a few days ago and then fell 16 feet onto a rocky overhang. Rescue workers scouring the mountains near Berchtesgaden, Germany couldn't find her and were likely losing hope. But Bruinsma had the brains to attach her bra to a supply line she'd stumbled upon--and notify some lumberjacks that she was nearby.
Only hours after Bruinsma sent the slinky signal, rescuers helicoptered in to pick her up. She's headed back to her hometown of Colorado Springs in a few weeks--where her family promises to throw her a bra-laden welcome home party.
