Could you be a little quieter with that thing, please? Kat telling the rescue worker to be careful right before her death.

Kat Jennings is a character in the film Final Destination 2. She is a successful businesswoman and a survivor of the Route 23 pileup.

Biography

Kat lived somewhere in New York and worked as a marketing consultant for a business firm. A year prior to the Route 23 crash, she was supposed to meet with a client at a bed and breakfast in Pennsylvania when, suddenly, the bus she was on hit Terry Chaney, delaying Kat and sparing her from suffocation caused by a gas leak at the lodge. Since Kat was initially supposed to die at the B&B, she was added to Death's list.

Final Destination: Death of the Senses

Kat was vicariously referenced in Death of the Senses, in that the bus she was riding was driven by Jack Curtis.

Kat was driving her SUV on Route 23 and talking on the phone when suddenly Dano throws his weed cigarette out of his window, and it lands on her windshield, setting the leaves gathered in the gutter on fire. Kat silently asks if it was him. Kimberly Corman has a premonition that a huge pile-up will occur and blocks traffic, stopping other people, including Kat, who complains about the inconvenience, from using the road. Abruptly, the crash happens just like Kimberly predicted, killing 18 people.

Later, Kat is interviewed with the other crash survivors at the police station, where she learns about the events of Volée Airlines Flight 180. After returning home, she talks with her concerned mother on the phone while exercising on the treadmill, soon learning from the news that another survivor of the crash was just killed. The next day, she goes to Thomas Burke's apartment like the others. Kimberly and Clear Rivers warn them that they are in danger, but Kat leaves to go outside to smoke. Her attitude changes after witnessing Nora Carpenter's brutal death, and a bloody, horrified Kat asks if they could find the pregnant woman as she realizes the seriousness of the situation.

Kat is the fifth survivor of Route 23 to die.

Death

The pipe as its seen going through Kat's skull and exiting to her forehead.

The next day, Kat drives herself, Clear, Kimberly, Eugene Dix, Thomas, and Rory Peters to the hospital to see the pregnant woman. Suddenly, her tire bursts, and she goes skidding off the road and through a load of PVC pipes, which causes a long PVC pipe to be propelled through Kat's headrest, although she is not harmed. Everyone is fine except Eugene, who has a collapsed lung after a PVC pipe hit him. Everyone gets out of the car except for Kat, as she has been wedged in the SUV by a huge log. As the rescue crew is trying to get her out of the car, Kat begins smoking to calm her nerves. She asks a rescue worker operating the jaws of life to work a little quieter, causing the bemused man to ram it into the car extra hard, accidentally causing the airbag to deploy. The force of the airbag pushes Kat's head back onto the pipe, and as the airbag deflates, the rescue worker realizes that he accidentally killed her. Her cigarette drops out of her hand into the fuel leakage, instigating a chain reaction that results in Rory's death.

Kat's Death

Signs/Clues

• After pulling Brian Gibbons out of the way of an incoming news van, Rory tells him to "use his head."
• The location of Kat's car wreck is at the 180 Mile Marker.
• The news van backing into a broken pipe and ending up with an impaled gas tank can be seen as a foreshadowing to Kat's death.
  • The gas' color and viscosity also bears a resemblance to blood.
• In the opening credits, a pencil points at the back of Kimberly's head in the photo, hinting that someone was going to be impaled in the back of the head.
• When Rory was talking about how he was uncomfortable sitting next to the person who was going to die next, he whispers, "hopefully her," while pointing to Kat.
  • Ironically, they both die within minutes of each other, with Kat's death serving as a part of the chain reaction that killed Rory next.
• Both Kat's premonition and actual death involved malfunctioning airbags; while the airbag failed to deploy in her premonition death, the airbag in her real death did deploy, albeit in the wrong moment.

Trivia

• Kat's death appears in the opening sequence of The Final Destination. However, if one looks clearly, the X-ray picture of Kat's death is inaccurate to her actual death. In Final Destination 2, the pipe impales Kat through the forehead in a straight position, but in the X-ray shot, the pipe impales her from the back of her head and goes downwards, crossing her head all the way to her nose.
• Kat is referenced in the opening credits of Final Destination 5 with PVC pipes crashing into the screen.
• The crash appears way too accurate for Kat to do on her own, so Death might also be controlling the car.
• In the script of Final Destination 2, she is described as: KAT JENNINGS, 29, very corporate America, wears a navy-blue power suit and speaks into a phone headset while smoking a cigarette.
• In a TV edit for Final Destination 2, her death was censored by not showing the aftermath of the pipe going through her skull.
• In an early script for Final Destination 2, the buildup to her death was much longer.
