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.
