De acordo com o artigo da Wiki Final Destination sobre o Death's Design ', é melhor depende do que você considera "escapar da morte". Embora várias tentativas tenham sido feitas na série de filmes para enganar a morte, a única que mostrou ser consistentemente bem-sucedida é matar alguém que não está marcado para morrer, assim ganhando seus dias .
Three instances of this occur in Final Destination 5. Nathan kills Roy, receiving his few remaining days; Roy having an illness that would have killed him shortly anyways. Nathan thus dies shortly after, but not in the original order of death planned by Death, only as the time of death for Roy originally. Peter kills Block, avoiding Death's schedule. Similarly, Sam kills Peter, avoiding Death's schedule. Sam dies shortly after, as Block had been scheduled to die not long after his actual death. There is a bit of a rift here, as Sam was not technically killing someone who wasn't meant to die in the first place.
Presumivelmente, se o intervalo de tempo alocado for maior que o seu, você realmente viveria mais tempo do que pretendia originalmente.
