Accident and later life
On 2 September 2011, Pitt was competing in a 100 km ultramarathon through Western Australia's Kimberley region, when she was caught in a large bush fire. During a subsequent inquiry, she stated there was "nowhere else to go" when the competitors tried to outrun an out-of-control blaze that swept up Selena Gorge, just outside Kununurra.

Pitt sustained burns to 65 percent of her body. It was several hours before medical help arrived and she was air-lifted out. Doctors did not expect her to survive her injuries.[2]
The parliamentary inquiry into the Kimberley Ultramarathon was damning of the race organisers, RacingThePlanet.[3] Among other things, it was revealed that the organisers were unable to communicate properly between checkpoints.
