Dr. Les Bisson, harbinger of doom

I didn't try super hard but in the several versions of the video I saw none of them really showed any bleeding. The close up slow mo always stopped before any arterial spray could be seen.

Frankly, I'm amazed that serious cutting injuries don't happen more often with people sliding around on the ground after falls etc.

The footage I saw that night on the news showed the arterial spray and I was amazed that man was able to skate off!

I've always been amazed there aren't more serious injuries in hockey too. Those blades are very sharp but I suppose most of their bodies are covered in quite a few layers. Although there not exactly covered from head to toe in thick pads, there are vulnerable spots like the arms and neck.
