MCHENRY, Md. - Seven people were injured in a sledding race at Wisp Resort in Garrett County on Saturday.
The accident happened during Wisp’s annual ‘Beachin Weekend' during which the Cardboard Box Derby serves as a fundraiser for a blind skier program. The event which is open to adults and children involves racing a decorated cardboard box down Wisp's tubing lanes. According to derby rules, the contestants’ “vehicles” must be constructed with cardboard boxes, tape and string.
A Wisp spokesperson said a derby participant called the “Dragon Wagon" was carrying fourteen people down a steep snow covered tubing lane. Halfway down, the box lost control and collided with metal pipes that support a snowmaking machine.
