Why is it dangerous for a person if one of his arteries is cut?

Arteries carries the high-pressure blood coming from the heart, so a cut artery will bleed a lot more than a cut vein, which carries the low pressure blood returning to the heart.
Lacerating an artery can result in severe blood loss. Severe blood loss can result in damage to the brain which, depending on the location and severity of the damage, can cause loss of coordination and mobility, loss of sensation or sensory ability in part or totally, and/or loss of cognitive functions. Of you could just die.

Why it is not very dangerous for a person if one of his veins is cut?
The vessels that carry the blood around the body are divided into veins and arteries. Arteries deal with the blood going out of the heart, and the veins deal with the blood going back into the heart.The veins, being the return path for the blood, sees less pressure than the arteries. An injury to a vein will bleed slower than an injury to an equally sized artery. With a slower bleed, there's more time to stop it before the blood loss becomes life threatening - so it's less dangerous.Do note that less dangerous doesn't mean safe! All bad bleeds should be treated by a doctor.
