How to stop yourself from bleeding to death if you sever an artery?

alright, unless you live in compton you won't need the bricks. you need to apply as much pressure as possible but if you slit your throat, then there's little hope. if you sever the artery near your tricep, you have to apply a LOT of pressure or you will lose blood quick. if you slit your wrist, you should be fine, just apply pressure and get it patched up. there is also an artery in your forearm, pressure again. vital organs, all pressure but it depends. if the cuts too big and the artery too important, there isn't much chance. but relax, i doubt you'll be severing an artery.
