For women who exercise, a sports bra is an essential piece of workout gear. For one Colorado state hiker, her sports bra became a lifesaver.

Jessica Bruinsma fell while hiking in the Bavarian Alps. Too injured to leave the place where she fell, she took off her sports bra and tied it to a cable that lumbermen used to transport timber. As luck would have it, the cable was out of service when she fell. When it was repaired, her bra moved down the line until it reached the bottom, alerting workers who then called authorities.

Jessica's quick thinking may have saved her life, but she's not letting this accident slow her down. If she recovers from this injury in time, she plans on training for a marathon.

Hello Kitty is cute enough, but I really don't get the whole phenomenon of Hello Kitty everything. And now we have the ultimate in "probably wouldn't expect to see that" type gadgets: the Hello Kitty emergency rescue device. One guy unfortunate enough to own one calls it a high tech version of the Swiss Army Knife for the next generation. It comes equipped with a flashlight, USB cell phone recharger, AM/FM radio, hazard siren (not a toy for your kids!), and a compass. Handy in an emergency? Absolutely. Am I going to go rush out and buy one? Not so much.
