An American woman was airlifted from a German mountainside after sending an SOS signal… with her bra.The woman – missing for over three days – hooked the brightly coloured sports bra on a cable used for transporting logs to a valley below hoping it would lead rescuers to her.
The 24-year-old outdoors enthusiast from Colorado injured herself in the Bavarian Alps while walking solo near Berchtesgaden close to the border with Austria.
“She was saved because she was really clever and in good physical shape,” said police chief Adolph Günther.
“Hanging the bra out saved her life because a logger saw it, heard about the search for a missing woman, and called mountain rescue.â€Â
The 36″ DD bra’s owner was found a few hours after it was spotted three days later by a helicopter crew.
Giving lie to the stereotype that a woman’s IQ is inversely proportioned to her breast size.
Something to keep in mind next time one is choosing hiking partners.

Being able to participate in the woman’s rescue must have been a truly uplifting experience.

Roboc, ironically there is a German village named Schtoppemfloppen.
I’m sure of it.

- I smell a marketing opportunity here. GPS emergency locator in-a-bra. Two channels, twice the power. ON-Star nipple tracker, be the first in your neighborhood to own one.
- I’ll bet her mom is thinking; “I knew those yodeling lessons would come in handy some day.” Ricola needs to get ahold of her agent.

Are you sure? Crawling up rocks alone is pretty stupid.

Hmmm.
I assure one and all that a primary trait I look for in hiking companions is a DD in bra size.

Wouldn’t it be difficult to hike with double D’s? Better suited for rafting! Just saying.
