Which Final Destination Deaths Are Most Likely to Happen In Real Life

screenrant.com:

A Los Angeles-based law firm has calculated which Final Destination deaths are most likely to happen in real life. The Final Destination franchise has enjoyed a long run, with the first movie releasing in 2000 and the most recent film, Final Destination 5, coming out in 2011. None of the movies in the franchise have gotten glowing praise from critics, but each film has turned a significant profit for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

The Final Destination series is known for gruesome deaths. Each film has essentially the same plot; the main character has a premonition and manages to save several people from a terrible accident before Death comes back to pick them off. The franchise managed to keep bringing audiences back to theaters by making the deaths crazier and usually more unrealistic for 11 years. Some deaths are as simple as Terry getting hit by a bus in Final Destination, while others are much more elaborate, like Olivia, who is burned in the face by a laser before twisting her ankle on a teddy bear's eye and falling out of a window.

While some of Final Destination's accidents seem pretty unlikely, Downtown LA Law claims that some happen fairly often. The firm analyzed 300,000 ER visits to calculate which accidents from the five Final Destination films are most common. According to their study, ladders were the most common cause of injury, with the law firm finding 4,162 ladder-related injuries were reported in the US since 2019. Tanning bed burns, in reference to Ashley and Ashlyn's death in Final Destination 3, are much less frequent, with only one case being reported in the US. Downtown LA Law's full breakdown can be found
