Jim, you are 100% correct. It's really sad that there are people here calling fault on you. As a death industry professional with over 40 years of experience (I've already done over 1400 removals in 2024 and the year isn't even over yet), I have witnessed these wounds many times up close, furthermore I've been briefed by law enforcement professionals, trauma nurses, and forensic pathologists in the autopsy room, and their numbers correspond with yours! The old saying "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight" is not exactly true. If the knife attacker is 5 feet from his target or closer, he can wound the victim before they can deploy their pistol. Another thing is that knives don't reload. Yes, they are extremely dangerous. Keep up the good work! Mark
I'm sure that that there will be some people who will disagree with the bleed out times that I have presented in this training video, and will have a different opinions. Others may say, "Jim, how did you come up with those numbers? How accurate are they?" Well, let me address this issue from another perspective. My U.S. Navy S.E.R.E. (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape) in Southern California, and my German Special Forces S.E.R.E. instructors in Pfullendorf, Germany taught this general principal - "You can survival 3 minutes without air. You can survival 3 days without water. You can survive 3 weeks with out food." Ask anyone who has gone through S.E.R.E. training or wilderness survival training and most would quote this general rule - it's common knowledge among survivalists. Now, are these times set in stone? Of course not. Some people have survived longer, and some shorter, but it's a general average to be seared (pun intended) into students' minds. So, why do S.E.R.E. instructors teach this general rule? Obviously, to set one's survival priorities. If I'm in the sticks trying to survive I had better get water before worrying about food. Water is the priority, and I know I had better get water in my body within three days or I COULD die. Not WILL die, but COULD die. However, without water I could lose my effectiveness before the three days are up, depending on several factors: air temperature, clothing, injuries, etc. The same thing applies to bleed out times. It's a general rule that I've heard throughout my military, law enforcement, and counterterrorism career from numerous instructors in numerous countries. Throughout my career I have seen people bleed out (shootings, stabbings, and vehicle collisions); some survived and some died. So why are these bleed out times that I presented taught to tactical operators? It's to give a basic understanding of the priorities for giving first aid. Someone who just their carotid artery cut on the left side of their neck needs treatment like NOW! Someone who just lost their right hand has a little more time. If I had just did triage, and I had to patch one of them up before the other, I'll stop the bleeding of the neck first. The closer to the heart, the faster the bleed. Now, does a nurse or doctor learn a different Jump Start Command (a simple formula for the mind during a crisis)? Most likely, and they're going to be able to give all kinds of medical terms because of their training and experience. Yet, who is my audience on this UA-cam channel? Cops, soldiers, security guards, teachers, mothers, etc. The goal of knowing the bleed out times, as I presented them, is to get the bleeding stopped before the victim stops functioning, and to be able to "stay in the game." So, for you who understood the intent of the training video, thank you for your comments so that we can all learn. BE A HARD TARGET
Thanks Mr. Wagner. Regardless of time, I am going to try to fix a cut from a knife attack ASAP! My interest in this is more for target effectiveness in knife fighting. I did cut my finger once and applied direct pressure and held my hand above the heart, an hour later it was still spurting when I took my hand pressure off it. I wrapped toilet paper and duct taped it to get to the hospital but the wait time was long so I came back home and added more duct tape. The next morning I went to work, and asked a co-worker to help change the dressing and it was still seeping out, so off to the hospital again for stitches. Some wounds won't stop without proper medical intervention.
Your question is a good one. They are minimum times before someone is no longer combat effective because of blood loss, and if not treated within these times, then shock and death is next. Bleed out times are good for warriors, law enforcement, security officers, and martial artists to know. BE A HARD TARGET
Jim has the credentials to back up his talk. He's kinda like a hidden gem in a niche place. One of his more public achievements is being a Black Belt magazine Hall of Fame instructor. That's not stuff you can BS. He's also done a lot of training with and training for military and law enforcement in the US and Europe.

Yes I love knives and carry one. However I hope I don't have to use it. But I certainly will if I have to!
You're itching to
@tjitjo 🤣 only if I have to.
Good information.
Thank you. BE A HARD TARGET
And you black out in about ten seconds and don't realise you die.
I can't believe the bleed out is so fast
See my comment that I added after you commented. It sheds a little more light on the subject. BE A HARD TARGET
Believe that a cut knife attacker can still kill you in those 30 seconds they are bleeding out. Don't get into a knife fight. :)
Please forgive my ignorance. Are these approximate "bleed out" times to unconsciousness, or death?
Your question is a good one. They are minimum times before someone is no longer combat effective because of blood loss, and if not treated within these times, then shock and death is next.

Jesus! That's really fast, and scary too! I hate knives!
Yeah, knives are deadly. The general rule in a knife fight is "Distance is your friend." BE A HARD TARGET
This dude is an alleged "expert"
Get some facts elsewhere before you believe him
How about sharing your facts? I'm sure others would love to get some expert information. BE A HARD TARGET
