This case looks interesting. He just cut the small area on his ankle and bleed out to death. Since this artery lies very superficially under the skin, there's no need to cut deeply, just about 0.5 cm depth is enough it seems. It's very easy to feel the pulse if you hold your thumb against there, somewhere close to ankle.
Theoretically, if one ends up severing this artery by doing the same pattern of cut shown in this case and arterial bleeding emerges, if nobody comes to tighten the artery to stop the bleeding, I see no chance of surviving unless magically the bleeding stops itself which is not the case for arterial bleeding since it can't clot when there's a cut like that shown in the photos.
I know that bleeding to death is gruesome but you lose consciousness very quickly after about 1.5 liters of blood is lost which takes about 3 minutes from that artery. You get fainted and sleepy very quickly and once consciousness is lost, I don't think you suffer from the actual death by cardiac arrest and brain hypoxia from hemorrhagic shock, which happens in about 5-10 minutes after the cut.
