Brian is working in the fields when he saw Kat Jennings swerve her SUV out of control and crash. He runs over to help out the others and tries pulling out the log that has her legs pinned, but as he does, it only causes her more pain. Brian is forced to leave and call his father for help. Later, he is nearly run over by a news van, but Rory Peters pulls him back. Rory tells him to "use your head," and Brian thanks him in return.

Brian's Death

Signs/Clues

  • Kat nearly ran him over with her SUV when they crash through the stack of hay bales onto the field.
  • Brian almost died when he was nearly run over by a news van, but Rory saved him. Even though he had nothing to do with Route 23 or Flight 180, he was immediately added to Death's list after his death was avoided.
  • In some versions of the film, the coloration of this scene is warm. (red, orange, and yellow)
  • Brian was meant to have been killed by the news van if it wasn't for Rory's intervention.
    • Interestingly, Rory, who was meant to die on Route 23, saved his life. However, if Rory had died in the crash, there would have been no news van near Brian in the first place, meaning he would not have died if the crash had not taken place. Unless he would have died that same day, but something different was to occur. But according to Clear, the survivors had affected everything around them since they survived the pile-up. Just like what happened before: Kat should have died earlier, but because of the Flight 180's survivors, she didn't die, and her fate was affected. But this time, the case is like this: Brian should not have originally died, but because of the survivors of Route 23, his fate was altered. The news van was supposed to cause his death, but his death was intervened, and as a result, he was put on death's list and died.
  • The news van, which Rory saved Brian from running over him, caused Rory's death.
  • Brian's surname is 'Gibbons'. In many FPS games, 'gibbing' refers to a type of death, typically caused by an explosion or being crushed by an object of large mass, that hits the subject with such force that their body is crushed and their body parts - their "giblets" - are propelled outwards in different directions.
  • The news van that nearly ran him over blew up, foreshadowing his death.
  • There is a sudden gust of wind.

Trivia

  • Rory unknowingly made Brian cheat death by saving him from getting run over by the news van that was supposed to kill him.
    • However, this in itself is a contradiction, as the only reason the news van showed up was due to Kat Jennings' car crash. Had there been no survivors on Route 23, the van would've never shown up, and Brian would've lived regardless.
    • It's possible, however, that Brian would've died differently, but at the same time, and his almost getting hit by the van was to make up for the fact that his original death was delayed.
  • In the script of Final Destination 2, he is described as: BRIAN GIBBONS, 18, cheerfully drives a TRACTOR hauling a WHOODCHIPPER across the high crest of the empty road toward a pile of thick branches.
  • Brian is a fan of the band Limp Bizkit, whose band members are depicted as cartoon characters on the shirt he wears in the scenes where Rory and Kat are killed.
  • There is a major discrepancy in The Final Destination, where Brian is claimed to have been a survivor of a disaster called the Lakeview fire, even though he is explicitly shown to have died after Rory intervened in his planned death after a car crash involving the survivors of the Route 23 pileup. This is most likely a mistake by the prop designers, though another explanation is that the Brian Gibbons shown is a different person entirely.
  • Brian is the first person, theatrically, to die in a Final Destination movie despite not being involved with the initial disaster. Chronologically, he is preceded by Roy Carson, Jim Block, and Molly Harper and succeeded by the entire cast from Final Destination: Bloodlines (excluding Iris)
