How many instances of "i" are there in:
Jess Collins almost died when her car seatbelt forced the small metal bar though her stomach in a high-speed crash in Germany.
It missed her spine by millimetres and the 19-year-old of Radyr, Cardiff, was left in hospital for more than a week.
Today, she relived the frightening moment her “beautiful” piercing nearly ended her life during a working holiday in Munich.
“We were travelling down the autobahn at quite a high speed when we swerved to avoid another car and spun out of control,” said Jess, who was due to begin a photography course at Coleg Morgannwg, Pontypridd, this month.
As exclusively revealed by the Echo last month, a paramedic realised Jess, who had the piercing when she was 15, needed urgent treatment and radioed for an air ambulance.
She woke in hospital the next day.
Her mum Amanda, 37, who had flown to her daughter’s bedside, told Jess complications caused by the belly bar were nearly fatal.
Jess will be left permanently scarred from the accident and cuts doctors made during a three-hour operation to save her life.
She wants other young girls to be aware of the previously unheard-of danger of a belly piercing.
“I can’t have any solids for a while, especially fruit or vegetables because I can’t digest them properly,” she said.
Doctors gave Jess hospital X-rays and the bar as a souvenir of her ordeal.
She said: “It feels really weird looking at it, it’s so small and harmless and isn’t sharp at all.
Interesting usually it is by an infection that our piercing has a problem. Glad to know that she is alive.
