It is a well known fact that if you slash "across" your wrist in attempted suicide you will not die. One must slash parallel to their blood vessels and not across otherwise the vessels will clot and close up and the end goal of death with not be achieved. With the across technique all that will be achieved is a brief loss of consciousness due to blood loss, but as soon as the vessels close up the body will recover.
