Jessica Bruinsma is a young woman who went hiking in Germany. Well, Jessica Bruinsma was lost in the Bavarian Alps. What saved her was a sports bra.

As odd as that sounds, Jessica Bruinsma is thankful for that sports bra. Bruinsma used the sports bra as a signal, and the sports bra was the only item of clothing that she could spare to use as a signal. As it was reported, the rest of her clothing including shirt, pants, and jacket kept her warm on a ledge where she was stranded at for an estimate of seventy hours. Bruinsma was spotted waving her sports bra in the air and this is what saved her life.

Jessica Bruinsma has made headlines for being creative and resourceful. Who would have thought to use a sports bra as a distress signal? In any case, we are all glad that Jessica Bruinsma got out of that tight situation that she was in and is now safe and sound.

It is also reported that Bruinsma suffered from some injuries including a dislocated shoulder. However, she is safe now.

So, a lesson that we can take from Jessica Bruinsma is to never give up and try to be as resourceful as possible. If you need to use your bra as a distress signal, than so be it. It is also said that it’s best to stay in one location when you are lost so that it makes it easier for rescuers to find you. If you wander around, it makes it very hard for rescuers to find you as opposed to staying in one spot.

If you’re in the outdoors, you’ll likely face cold and possibly harsh weather. It is very important to keep yourself warm because when you are cold, you are more susceptible to becoming weakened or getting sick.

All of these safety tips for if you should ever get lost in the woods was applied by Jessica Bruinsma. She stayed in one location and did not wander off from that same spot. Jessica Bruinsma also tried as best as possible to keep warm by leaving all of her clothes on. That is, all of her clothes except for her sports bra. It is also best to create a distress signal or flag with something bright or outstanding. I’m guessing that her sports bra was the closest thing to bright and outstanding that Jessica Bruinsma had with her.
