Dangerous profession... have to respect it eh? What an amazingly lucky guy, not only to survive the initial hit (no major arteries) but apparently someone there (his coworker who brought him down to start with?) was smart enough to leave the blade in place until doctors could be ready to manage blood flow.

One very lucky man.
