What injury did Brian have?

• A. He was uninjured.
• B. He had a broken arm.
• C. He had a head injury.
• D. He hurt his leg.

Answer: (D)

Recognizing Brian’s injury after the crash is what this question hinges on. In Hatchet, the immediate aftermath shows Brian feeling pain in his leg, which slows him down as he moves through the wreckage, searches for water, builds a shelter, and starts a fire. That leg pain becomes a recurring obstacle he has to work around as he learns to survive. The story doesn’t center on a head injury or a broken arm in the scenes this question draws from, and the idea that he is entirely uninjured doesn’t fit what is described. So the most accurate takeaway is that he hurt his leg.
