It’s some smart thinking on getting pressure on the bleeding that kept him alive, really. And depending on the slice, the nerves to his right arm are near there, too - so the fact that he could use his right arm is remarkable. And personally, I find it odd that they said the carotid was injured, rather than the jugular - the jugular is more superficial and that blood on the ice looks awfully dark for arterial blood from someone who was just exercising. But then again, that’s me… and for those that care, I’ve had some experience with this - I had a kid who got hurt here at RIT on the Under-18 Team USA squad that had a similar problem: > **[Preston: Cata-mounting an improbable comeback](http://www.espn.com/ncaa/news/story?id=3224719)** > > Two years ago, Chris Atkinson was nearly killed in a freak accident on the ice.
