Why is it that when your wrist is cut you are die but if you cut your arm you are not die?
It's not like that. If you cut your wrist, OR your arm, anywhere deeply enough to open an artery, it is a life-or-death situation. But if you cut your wrist or arm not too deeply, it's a "cut" - you will recover from it.

If a main artery in the leg is cut how long will it take for you to bleed to death?
If it is the femoral artery, you will bleed out extremely fast. Probably faster than it will take you to get to a hospital. Being the main artery in the leg that comes directly from the aorta, it contains an immense amount of pressure, which means, LOTS of blood.

What happens if you cut your wrist?
The veins in your wrist are very important to the rest of your body. They conect to almost every other vein in your body. When you slit your wrist, it makes you bleed from all the other veins in your body. This makes you bleed, very, very badly. If it is not treated very quickly, you will most likely bleed to death.
If you cut a vein in your wrist and not an artery is it easier to stop the bleeding and therefore not die?
Yes with direct pressure. Veins return blood to the lungs to be oxygenized.. Arteries transport oxygenized blood from the lungs through the heart and pulsate so it would be especally dangerous to cut an artery. People have been saved though with direct pressure, in rare cases a tourniquet on a artery, and immediate medical treatment.

How deep are the arteries in your wrist Am I seeing the veins or the arteries when I look at my wrist How deep would I have to cut to hit an artery?
The Related Links section has a link to a website that has a diagram of the arm.The bluish blood vessels visible when you look at your wrist are veins. The arteries are deeper and not located particularly near the veins. Gray's Anatomy has a transverse section of the wrist; if you look at it you'll see you'd have to cut fairly deeply to hit one of the arteries, and the other is buried behind a ligament.
