死神的设计
Clear把死神的设计等调查资料贴到墙壁去
死神的设计是一些由死神所定立的规则，以应用于死亡上。当中包括死亡的方法和次序等，死神都有定立一些规则去实行，但预感则不知是否与死神有关。至于要破解死神的设计或要战胜死神，都有各种不同的方法，当中包括拯救死亡名单上的人、夺取别人的生命和制造新生命等。另外，验尸官Bludworth因为多次遇见不同的生还者，所以他很了解死神的设计，也得知一些方法去战胜死神。后来Bludworth向生还者们分享战胜死神的方法，以帮助他们对抗死神。
预感[]

Nick预见到大灾难的发生后感到吃惊
预感是一种神秘力量，有预感的人能够预见将会发生的灾难，并体验整个灾难的发生过程。由于预感不受时间限制，所以在预感结束后一切将会回到灾难发生前的时间，亦因此预感者都会尽量阻止灾难的发生。可是被预见的灾难，往往都与现实中所发生的有少许不同，这是由原本应该在灾难中死去的生还者所影响而引致。另外逃过一劫的生还者，在灾难发生后将会被死神逐一追杀，直到所有生还者全死才结束。至于预感是否与死神有关，则仍然是一个谜团。

Ashley在日晒床里被活生生烧死
死亡方法是死神的设计之一，以一连串的巧合、突发的意外，或人为直接导致所组成，并透过当中所产生的蝴蝶效应来引导生还者慢慢步向死亡。在众多死亡方法中，主要包括窒息、烧死、炸死、电死、淹死、辗毙、枪杀、刺死、砸死、摔死，与及高速分割等。除此之外，死神还利用多种工具杀害生还者，当中包括交通工具、手枪、招牌、轮胎、逃生梯、玻璃片、铁片、日晒床、巨型浴缸、砖头、铁网、菜刀、水管、石子、晾衣绳、健身器材，与及钉枪等。

180航班的爆炸路径是生还者的死亡次序
死亡次序是死神的设计之一，主要是 并借着不同的次序去杀害灾难的生还者。 would killed people through different orders. In Final Destination, the death order was followed the explosion ways in Flight 180. In Final Destination 2, the death order was turned backward of the premonition, which caused by the Flight 180 survivors. In Final Destination 3, the death order was still based the order of death, but also on the seating on Devil's Flight and the photos taken gave clues to how they might die. In The Final Destination, the death order was followed the order in the premonition, except Jonathan Grove who died out of order by not changing seats.
欺骗或战胜死神的方法[]
救人干预死神计划[]
Intervenening in someone's death can hinder the design, and cheat death, but it will only skip the one who being saved. After the first turn, it will still turn back to the one who was saved before. This rule can't defeat Death at all.
新生命[]
According to William Bludworth, only new life can beat Death. In an alternate ending of Final Destination, Clear Rivers had a baby with Alex Browning (although he is dead), so she and Carter Horton beat Death. In Final Destination 2, Kimberly Corman and Thomas Burke cheated Death after she drowned. Although one of the survivors - Isabella Hudson - had a baby, she was not meant to die on Route 23, so she couldn't help Kimberly and Thomas with "cheating" Death.
杀人获取别人生命[]
According to the trailer of Final Destination 5, a new rule will be introduced. As elaborated in Final Destination 5, this new rule involves filling the hole in Death's schedule. As revealed by William Bludworth at the scene of Isaac's death, if you kill someone who is not in Death's design, you as the person who was to already be dead but had cheated Death, receive the remaining life left from the person you killed. Peter eloquently calls this "kill or be killed".
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.
自杀打乱死神计划[]
If it's not your turn to die, Death won't let you kill yourself, same happened to Eugene Dix and George Lanter. It was also tested by Carter Horton when he wanted to "gain control" of his life. He drove his car fast through the traffic trying to kill himself (he would probably kill Clear, Alex and Billy too), but stopped on train tracks waiting for the train to claim his life. Eventually he said "its not my time to die", and unsuccessfully tried to start his car.
In Final Destination 3, Ian McKinley mentioned that if the Wendy Christensen were to commit suicide, then the rest of the survivors would truly beat Death's design. Wendy never listened to Ian anyway, so it is so far unknown wether or not Ian's idea is true, but it probably isn't, as that would meen that Wendy would be able to die out of turn.
It remains to be seen if a person can commit suicide when it actually is their turn to die.
