If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
