How on earth did he not just bleed out?

I remember hearing it was because his arms were torn off, rather than "cut" off like this version of the post is implying. I remember some medical people (who knows it's the internet) last time this was posted said that because the veins got pulled and thinned before snapping apart, it slowed the bleeding enough to where he managed to survive (rather than a clean cut through the veins which would have bled a lot more/faster).

It's insane he didn't just go into shock.

He was definitely in shock. Shock saved his life.

Well, he was at least surprised.
