Sliced my arm open as kid and never felt a thing, until they started stitching it up. Large wounds like this sometimes aren't felt because the nerves are severed or your bodies "circuit breaker" is tripped.
The Viet-Kong knew of this internal circuit breaker when they would torture POW's. They would inflict the maximum amount of pain tolerable before the GI would either pass out or go numb in that effected area.
I stepped on a nail as a kid as well. Thought I had a rock in my shoe until I saw the copious amounts of blood. After seeing that, the wound began hurting like a son-bitch.
And now you've learned something.
