Desmond's danger was from brain overload from switching between various
eras, with nothing to ground him. ...He couldn't die in the past,
otherwise he would not exist currently.

But as I've said, the swan was all in the past (when we watched it)...
You see Desmond was never in any real danger of dying in the past. (We
just didn't know it) ...This is why Desmond woke up ****d outside the
swan station, when in fact, he should have been crushed to oblivion with
everything else.
This scenario may be taking place with everyone else too. (The ones that
survived the unsurvivable crash) ...They won't die, until it is their
time. ...It's like a game. ..I think this is why Charlie wants Hurley
to go back to the island.
It's almost like Jacob is playing the Desmond part... The way Desmond
protected Charlie from numerous deaths. Jacob is apparently working
towards seeing a particular end result. ...

They may be the future... But not the final future. ...JOn
