Overview
- Rakers disclosed the episode on November 3 during NDR’s DAS! Rote Sofa! in a conversation with host Hinnerk Baumgarten.
- She said she cried and stopped filming when asked to climb the 40‑meter observation walkway on Rügen, calling it her first aborted shoot.
- The sequence was part of a three‑part NDR report in 2016 that featured the German islands Sylt, Rügen and Föhr.
- As a follow‑up challenge she later completed a parachute jump over Sylt, which she found less frightening than the treetop climb.
- Rakers has since moved to Rügen, where she says she has settled into a new life with animals and a thriving vegetable garden.
