How about you just don't cut?

Your chances of dying from cutting a vein aren't that high, at least from what I know. It doesn't take too much pressure to stop it from bleeding. Cutting an artery is what is more likely to lead to a life-death scenario. Your arteries are located under the muscle layer, so unless you happen to cut very deep it should be of no concern.

I should note that I am not a medical expert and I'm also high right now, so take all of this with a grain of salt.

If you go deep in your wrist, it could be really bad. You could damage something, not necessarily a vein, and cause permanent damage in your wrist or your hand.

Don't do it. I understand some people "need" to SH, but there's absolutely no reason to want to do it. You are going to mess yourself from no reason.
