Because - with a slight cut, you're only damaging capillaries (small blood vessels) With a deep or large cut, there's more chance of rupturing a vein or artery which would bleed considerably more.

Why does blood ooze out where there is cut on your body?

When you have a cut on your body, blood oozes out due to the rupturing of blood vessels in the affected area. The body's natural response is to form a clot to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. Platelets in the blood help to create a clot by sticking together and sealing the broken blood vessels.

That depends entirely on the size of the cut and what gets cut. Hit an artery and they can die in a couple minutes. A slash across the ribs could ooze for a long time and never really be a problem. That is entirely dependent on the following conditions: Time of bleeding, diameter of the artery or vein, location of the artery or vein. Blood pressure at that moment. Viscosity of blood, extension of the cut, and perhaps some more factors.
