Answers:
Ugh. Well just looking at the picture you linked, I didn't see a high volume of blood. Remember, blood donors routinely give one pint and survive unharmed.
Anyway remember, SAW 2 is a fictional movie. Health Question & Answer

It's a movie. Anything can happen, as long as it looks good.

I've worked in the trauma bay quite a few times. As long as you're young, you can lose lots and lots of blood without dying. Young people are pretty resilient like that. I've seen people loose about 15% of their circulating blood volume and only minimally raise their heart rate to compensate. But yes, if you loose too much blood, you should pass out, and if you loose enough, you will die. But that wouldn't make for a good movie, now would it.?Health Question & Answer

It does not seem like she loses that much blood in the pictures you linked to.
If she did, anything's possible in movies. After all, there's always sound in space even though there is no air for the sound waves to transmit to.Health Question & Answer
