** However, look at some of the ridiculously close calls throughout the film. Alan being pulled out of the game at the same time as a lion, who would have easily mauled the two defenseless children otherwise. Absolutely '''''EVERY''''' shot Van Pelt makes at Alan misses by a hair, along with him running out of ammo just when it seems he has him in his sights. And note, Van Pelt is a deadly good shot, as seen when he shoots the small lock off the tire stand in Sir-Sav-Alot or tips his gun with only a second's glance to quickly shoot the light fixture above Carl's head. Furthermore the stampede bursting through the wall ''just'' as the group exits the room, and rushing past where Peter was fleeing them before getting pulled to safety by Alan in the nick of time. Later, during the stampede through town, Peter takes shelter in someone's abandoned car, only to have it be meticulously crushed by several animals-- but only to the point that it pins him down, rather than turning him into a [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Peter-Sandwich.]] ''Then'' when Judy, Peter, and Sarah are cornered by Van Pelt, Alan unintentionally and unknowingly crashes his commandeered police cruiser into the shelf of paint cans, toppling them only onto Van Pelt. Miraculously, no one else is harmed by his blind drive through the store, without brakes. Several instances of extreme good fortune occur during the monsoon seen, involving the crocodiles. First off, when the group is climbing onto the table to get out of the water, Peter (who is a supreme cheater of death, among other things) starts slipping in and is pulled back by Alan before one of the crocodiles emerges to make a snap at the spot he was a mere ''moment'' before. Then, after a sudden tip of the chandelier they were taking refuge on sends Peter back into the water, he is once again pulled out by Alan a split second before another crocodile gobbles up the air he had once been occupying (in addition, Alan pull's Peter out by his tail, which he would not have had if Jumanji hadn't started turning him into a monkey hours earlier for cheating. In other words, if Peter hadn't been turned into a monkey, he would have been dead, as every other part of him was submerged.) And in the game's finale, Judy is poisoned by a plant (and possibly dies, but that's never stated for certain, she may have just lost consciousness.) just a turn before the one that wins the game. Lastly, the elements of the game being sucked back into the board just before Van Pelt's bullet hits Alan directly in the head. In conclusion, Jumanji controls everything, and sets everything up so that none of the players die, or at least not until the home stretch. It throws the players in life-threatening situations only to save them by the skin of their teeth by tipping the scales ever so slightly. Jumanji: A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind. ''Not'' a game for those who seek to die very quickly and painfully.

**Given that Jumanji is a board game, with multiple players, it is likely that it is played as a competitive match. the losers gain nothing, but the winners get everything. Those who won are those who make it out of the game with their lives, those who lose are those who died in the process. If you Die in the game, you lose your play and your game-piece is reverted backward. no other player can enter the play (which differs from being Stuck in the game, which means that if you're stuck in Jumanji, your turn is passed until someone rolls 5 or 8. But if you manage to live through until someone reaches "Jumanji" then those who remain alive get to witness time reverse back to where it all started. The prize is being given the time you lost playing the game, and coming out with the lessons that you learned. those who lost, cannot remember the events from the game. Then if all the players Die, then Jumanji would not revert back, and a swarm of unstoppable beasts and plagues would consume the world the players held in their hearts- "A game to leave your world behind" - the entire town in Jumanji would become a world left behind in chaos and destruction.
