SAFETY ISSUES!! DANGER!! This is regarding snow tubing. From the mouths of TWO of their employees, they were short staffed on a busy saturday evening. The top of the hill was in total chaos as they clearly sold too many tickets, people pushing and cutting their way. The crowd was pretty unruly and of course, they were all trying to blast past the safety wall at the bottom of the hill. We decided to leave early because the crowds were awful and it stopped being fun. As we returned the tubes, I got hit so hard from an out of control customer that I lost consciousness!! The so-called safety features they have at the bottom of the hill are clearly not adequate as people were getting mowed down left and right. They have 2 young people down there trying to help but its obviously not enough. As I regained consciousness, one employee came to see if I was ok but quickly had to go back to his post to make sure others weren't going to get hit.
I would chalk this up to being a freak accident but it happened more then once while we were there. If I had been an older person or a toddler, that person would have needed an ambulance. We had to leave Deep Creek early because I got a concussion due to the negligence of the management of Wisp.
Perhaps the most painful aspect of this accident was the heartless reply from management when I contacted them. They did not ask how I was feeling nor did they offer an apology, they simply said that the hill met the States safety standards for that day....COLD!
I beg of you, unless you love out of control crowds and disorganization, do NOT go here. If you have small children, DO NOT go here.
