Cardiff student Jessica Collins underwent three hours of surgery as doctors fought to save her life after the accident in Munich.
The 19-year-old’s small piercing had been pushed through her stomach almost to her spine by her seatbelt during the collision.
Doctors said the silver-coloured stud had caused injuries like a bullet wound.
Her mum Amanda, 37, of Radyr, Cardiff, said: “If it had not been for the piercing, she would not have been in a life-threatening situation.”
“The piercing was like a bullet going through her stomach. She had horrific facial injuries. I didn’t recognise her when I came in. She was badly bruised and she has some blood on the brain but she will recover.”
