I think some of these fellers are trying to get you to have a prolapse, Mr. Waters isn’t worth it man...

I recall an episode of Cops. Chasing a Dodge 4X4 when he goes cross country. Cop sedan does okay for a bit, but the terrain gets a little rougher and he centers on a low ridge. Exhaust started a grass fire and the whole car went up. Dodge guy crossed a creek and got away.
 

Know a fellow that was doing alligator census on Eufaula NWR on AL/GA border several years ago. For whatever reason he was kneeling down at waters edge and a large gator grabbed him by the head and pulled into the water. That he survived is a miracle but it tore his scalp off from back to front and left hanging over his face. He and a buddy had paddled in, it was the middle of the night w/ poor cell phone signal, they had a hard time describing where they were, and it took a while for help to reach them. He recovered and with only minimal scar visible through his close cut hair. He's also one of those folks that trouble is never far behind.
 
You just hope as the scalp gets pulled, the little arteries get stretched enough that when they “snap back” after tearing they seal off most of the way or completely.
Heads can bleed like stink. Lost a dude to hypovolemic shock past year from a giant head lac.

happens with some digit amputations too.
saw one where it hardly bled, surgeon cleaning it up found the coiled up little artery 2cm back from the point of injury.
 
This is a picture of US Navy LT. Nick Bradshaw shortly before his last flight on May 13th, 1986. Lt Bradshaw was killed after he and his pilot were forced to eject from their USN Grumman F-14 Tomcat while trying to engage an adversary aircraft during a simulated combat sortie off the coast of California. The pilot was unharmed. Unfortunately LT. Nick Bradshaw did not survive the ejection. Both Lt Bradshaw and Mitchell were quickly recovered from the Pacific waters by a Coast Guard helicopter from US Coast Guard Station San Diego.
The Board of Inquiry determined that the F-14's departure from controlled flight was induced by the disruption of air flow into the starboard engine.This disruption stalled the engine, which produced enough yaw rate to induce a spin Which was unrecoverable. There was no way the pilot could see or avoid the jetwash. The pilot's record was cleared, and was restored to flight status without further delay.
