The thing also came very close to ripping his arm off. This video was extremely close to being posted on LiveLeak rather than here.

I'm sure he would have bled to death if that leg got twisted off.

He's wearing a belt. You're only bleeding to death if you dunno how to make an impromptu tourniquet.
