2. Gymnastic Accident (Final Destination 5)

If you ever wanted to know why Simone Biles is often considered the greatest Olympian of all time, you can just watch the grim reality of gymnastics displayed in Final Destination 5. Typically, the Final Destination trope of a loose screw or tipped-over cup of water starting a lethal domino effect reduces the deaths that follow to exaggerated murder fantasies. Here, gymnast Candice Hooper (Ellen Wroe), fresh off surviving the North Bay Bridge collapse, is swinging on the uneven bars when she gets blinded by the chalk dust blasted in her eye, the result of a fellow gymnast knocking it over after stepping on a falling screw. Unable to gain her balance in mid-air, she falls on her neck, snapping her spine, and dying with her legs twisted over hear ears. In gymnastics, precision isn’t only necessary for entertainment, but also for safety. Only one Final Destination death has felt closer to reality than this iconic one.
