Even though the blood loss rate through a vein is slower than through a cut artery, you can still bleed out and die through a cut vein.

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.
