The 26-year-old was part of a team who made a piano-like flying machine which was pushed off a six-metre drop above the Dambovita River running through the Romanian capital. Her back was fractured after the object failed to fly but plunged straight into the water
It was the third time a Red Bull Flugtag has taken place in the city. Its goal is to fly as far as possible with home-made machines. More than 40 teams participated in Vienna two years ago. A jury of celebrities pick the winner after rating creativity as well as the distance the self-created object covers.
Every flying object - whatever it looks like - has to be lighter than 120 kilograms without the pilot who is supported by up to four "ground staff" team members who push it over the edge of the starting ramp. The event series has been created and organised by Salzburg-based energy drinks producer Red Bull.
