Brian não estava na lista de mortes original da rota 23. Brian foi salvo durante a cena do acidente com um SUV, então talvez sua morte não tenha nada a ver com a lista de mortes da Route 23 e é por isso que ele conseguiu o seu fim, mesmo depois que eles enganaram a lista de mortes.
Mas lembre-se também de uma coisa que aprendemos com a franquia (spoilers):
nobody survives
Também do final alternativo do Final Destination 3:
If Ian is killed normally, the film continues. If Map is selected, an extra scene, where a newspaper blows off of a homeless man who was using it as a blanket, is inserted. It reveals that the survivors of the second film were killed and the viewer is given the option to read the paper and get the details. Kimberly and Thomas were sucked into a faulty wood chipper owned by the farmer of the second film, after they tried to escape a runaway car that was owned by the unlucky lottery winner of the previous film. The death certificate was given by the doctor who was pregnant in the previous film and thought to be the key to surviving death's plan. They had met at the area by coincidence and according to the article, were haunted by the whole incident, with Kimberly dropping out of school and Thomas being sent down to desk duty.
E também nas sequelas, a mesma teoria prova que
nobody survives
