On 30 July 2015 Grünberg suffered a serious spine injury during a training session in her native Innsbruck. During a routine jump, she landed on her head and neck in the box in front of the mat fracturing her fifth cervical vertebrae which left her a tetraplegic.

Her outdoor and indoor personal best is 4.45 metres set in 2014 and 2015 respectively. These are current national records.
