Bleeding out through leg veins

[ScoreCard]

Hi. I know bleeding out through wrist veins won't work but what about leg veins like the ones on calves. Will it work?

 

[Agon321]

No, it won't work.

Don't try this because the probability is very low.

Yeah please don't do that, it's not a method anyone will recommend.

Highly unlikely unless you've got a pre existing blood condition where you don't clot. I have frequently cut several veins in my arm so that it pours out, not just dripping, and even when I was deliberately taking aspirin to reduce clotting, each time the veins stopped of their own accord. I've passed out twice from it, threw up a perfectly good steak and ale pie and chips, and am now badly anaemic - but still alive and kicking.

Those are not arteries, those are superficial veins. If they are bulging at the skin they are not a major blood supply. Arteries, which you would need to hit to have a good shot to die, are very deep beneath the tissue and nearly impossible to intentionally reach if you aren't in a psychotic state.

Nope.

Veins are veins. You cannot lose blood fast enough through veins of ANY kind to bleed out. They will clot off. Even if they didn't, it would take most likely over an hour to die, giving plenty of time for you to freak out and SI to kick in. Cutting has less than a 2% success rate.

You have to hit a major artery which requires surgical precision and DEEP cutting to bleed out.

threw up a perfectly good steak

RIP steak


Edit: grammar

RIP steak

I was more upset about that than passing out
