Some might want to have a look at this video if they haven't seen it before. It's a sucking chest wound so it's a tad bit gross, but it demonstrates the lack of blood (and why it's called a sucking wound :P).
This is going to be a dumb question, but humor the neophyte. I have only had a few formal first aid classes. How is the guy in that video not dead? Isn't the wound directly over where the heart would be? What would make a hole that large?
