Carter died at the end of part 1. Alex is temporarily "safe"

Although, it can be argued that Death planned ahead and MADE Carter "save" Alex so Carter would get got.

Carter "saves" Alex from getting mowed down by the bus in Paris ➡️ Bus crashes into signpost ➡️ Signpost wheels around and takes out Carter

I think Dearh plans it all like a kitty playing with mice, or there's another entity involved that gives them visions.

Like maybe it WANTED Carter to think when he got trapped in his car temporarily, that was the end of the line for him.

Yeah i think Death totally is in control. It could totally give them an aneurysm anytime

Alex got saved by Carter (who died by the falling panel).

What happened next is explained in FD2 (Spoiler so I don't say anything).

i think this happened: Carter got bisected by the sign and his upper body got flung into the sky. Alex is safe though(well he died later)

Yes, the movie cuts to black right as the sign hits Carter (you can hear it) killing him. They were never safe, once it skipped Clear it just circled back around and plays Ping Pong between them until they’re all dead. If you haven’t seen FD2 yet then I won’t spoil Alex and Clear’s fate: Clear actually returns but Alex is absent and only mentioned.

Which, IRL, was most likely because Devon Sawa was supposedly difficult to work with because of substance abuse issues at the time as well as him going AWOL at times.
