A 21 foot Correct Craft was towing three individuals on a tube on Deep Creek Lake in Garret County, MD.  The vessel turned sharply and the tube caught either a wake or the chop.  It flipped and all three tubers were ejected.  During the process, one of the tubers hit her head on another tuber.  She complained of nausea and became light headed.  The family provided first aid by applying ice.  She had a swollen contusion on the back of her head.  Her mother drove her to Garret Memorial Hospital for evaluation.  The NRP investigator determined that all safety requirements such as an observer had been met.  There was no indication so far that the injuries were more serious than a mild concussion.
