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.

i've accidentally cut my ankle deep in that area twice in my life (sharp stuff fell = no bueno) & i easily believe this could work. the first time it happened while i was taking a hot shower i bled so much so fast i begged for help (not realizing i was home alone) & i had to fucking impromptu-tourniquet myself to stop the bleeding. i still have a scar where i dropped a bit of ceramic there too- the skin isn't very thick.

i wonder how he got the idea & what was going through his mind as he did this- i notice he's the same age as me.

Exsanguination Method (Reliable but Slow)

Sharing a method a buddy of mine used to catch the bus. Cutting/Exsanguination has a bad rep on this forum. Understandable, considering 99% or cutting attempts are actually cries for help, not real attempts. However, if you know what you are doing and you are sure about your decision, this...

That's actually a very interesting find.

Only issue I could see would be related to the nerve that's extremely close to the artery. If that's severed, good luck ever feeling that foot again.

That's the main issue with most artery cutting methods, is the dang nerves.

I think the femoral is the best choice for that. Actually quite close to the surface of the skin (comparatively), at least where it goes over the bone in your groin. And the nerve is like an inch or so away from the artery, so possibly easier to miss and cause lasting damage.

But still, bad method overall, IMO.

Yeah, cutting the nerve would feel horrendous, even if you die in 2 minutes by losing the blood. That pain would make the process agonizing. I wouldn't cut any artery without putting something in my mouth to bite it hard because even if you don't hit nerves, the pain would still make you scream loud.

As for femoral artery, it's mainly flesh above it so cutting will be gross, although bleeding from that artery is a guaranteed death.

Posterior tibial artery like in that case looks very simple, no need to cut that much, just 2 inches diagonally near the ankle and there's no need to cut deeply either. Nerve damage is a big risk there indeed, but if you intend to die, you might as well forget about that nerve because you won't be here to suffer from that damage.

Carotid artery on the side of the neck is not that hard to cut by yourself, but you have to use a mirror whereas you have direct sighting of your ankles to cut precisely. But, carotid artery is gruesome and you lose consciousness very quickly, like in 10 seconds maximum, so it looks scary to cut and immediately fall down.

From posterior tibial artery, when immobile in your bed, exsanguination is steady and takes at least 2 minutes before losing the consciousness so you can inspect your cut, the blood loss rate and your position before you fall asleep so it's much more comfortable compared with carotid cut.

If you were going to do this, I'd recommend doing it in a warm bathtub to prevent clotting/increase blood flow, and perhaps you'll drown when you're unconscious?

I don't have a bathtub so it's not possible. I know that cutting is notorious in bathtub setting but I think that it's just for comfort, the outcome of proper cutting won't change because arteries don't clot by themselves easily. That dude did it in his living room in the case provided and died from exsanguination nevertheless.

You'd definitely die faster if your vessels are dilated via warm water.

Yeah but bathtub is not needed for that, you can do so in a large bowl if you cut near the ankle. Just fill it with warm water, cut the artery and immediately put the foot inside the bowl and lie over the bed. But, the pain becomes more intense when you put the wounded body parts inside warm water so I think it's not mandatory since proper arterial cuts are almost never self healing and unless someone tightens the artery to stop the blood flow, you will die by exsanguination sooner or later.

I've been leaning towards CTB by massive propranolol overdose(I have a stockpile of over 180 80mg tabs) but this seems interesting as well...

I didn't say that it's mandatory, just that I'd recommend it you do you though.

I get kinda repulsed by the idea of putting a bleeding wound in a hot bath to be honest. It always feels weird when I wash my wounded hands with warm water to clean it before applying a medical bandage.

I feel more comfortable doing this in my bed lying down.

You absolutely would not lose consciousness that quickly from just one carotid being cut, unless the sight of blood makes you pass out. You'd still be getting plenty of blood from the other carotid plus plus the spinal arteries
