A quick thinking hiker from Colorado was rescued from the German Alps last week after using her sports bra to signal for help.
24-year-old Jessica Bruinsma of Colorado Springs had reportedly gotten lost on their first day of hiking, and fell 20 feet.
Bruinsma waited up to 70 hours for help. That's when she noticed a logger supply line start to move. She quickly took off the sports bra, which she was using as a sling for her injured shoulder, and placed it on the line.
The article of clothing caught the eye of workers, who were eventually able to get help to the woman.
One of the rescuers was quoted as saying the signal "certainly beats sending up a flare."
Bruinsma remains in Europe where she's recovering from four broken ribs and a punctured lung.

She would have been saved sooner had she used her thong panties
