So she gets konked on the head, falls far enough to practically reach terminal velocity. There isn't going to be much that can break her fall here. If they really want to save her… Yeah the timeline has to change.

"I did it before! I saved the guy in the office!"

"And it nearly killed you! And, from what you described, you never met the guy in your second go 'round. You saved him and he didn't even realize it.

"Maybe if we had a power-plant behind it, and a time machine made from real parts and not a bunch of cobbled together garbagemaybe then, but we don't."

"Aaaaaargh! It's not fair!"
