Breaking News: Georgian Olympian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili has not went back in time, but he is dead

It was Doc Brown that voiced the immortal words, "Once this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit." Truer words were never spoken for Georgian Olympic luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili, 20 of Georgia.

Kumaritahshvili is dead today after flipping over a railing at 88 miles per hour during a preparatory practice for the Olympics. During the crash, he was fatally thrust into an un-padded cement beam.

An initial AP video report say 88 MPH while other reports have the speed of the crash going into the turn at 89.4 MPH. The speed was Kumaritahshvili's fastest speed yet. As well, the Vancouver luge course is considered to be the fastest track in the world.

Unfortunately for Kumaritahshvili, hitting 88 miles per hour did not enable him to go back in time to tell himself not to do the practice run, thereby saving his life. But had he saw his 'other self', it is possible that he would have destroyed the universe anyways, according to Doc Brown.

Brown stated, running into one's other self, "could create a space time paradox." Brown continued, "The results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe!" Granted, that is the worst-case scenario.

Some of you are probably thinking well maybe he did not go back in time because the ice could not allow for the sled to get traction and dissolve into the past (or future), thereby leaving fire skids behind. But you have to think fourth dimensionally. Simply put, the sled did not have a flux capacitor or even time circuits. We will know for next time.

All joking aside, this is obviously a tragedy and our thoughts and prayers do go out to Kumaritahshvili's family and the people of Georgia. And as in the case of all tragedies, we should reflect on finding ways to prevent further tragedies.
