Gene,

Somewhere on the internet there is a video clip of a Russian having his throat cut.  Something similar happens in this video and you see a similar result.  I'm not saying spurting blood is not possible, because often it is, however many variables may influence such of a thing.

Unfortunately, we have all become conditioned to believe what we see portrayed in the media, especially the entertainment industry.

For example, when people are shot by regular firearms and even shotguns, they do not go flying through the air.  I have seen demonstrations of a man getting shot with a shotgun (while wearing protective garb) and people do not fly backwards. 

It's like this controversy over Berg and spurting blood.  If the cut was deep enough and severe enough that could influence spurting blood, as I explained in my earlier posting.   Also, it looks as if the first cut was underneath.  This would mask spurting blood.  And this is what I think has happened.  The cutting was massive and created a gaping wound and the blood poured out and is hard to see because of image quality.

People are creating myths about this out of possibly nothing.  You can see the man's mouth move when he is cut.   But I do agree that the tape has been edited and is of very poor quality.
