Although I'm not an expert on the subject, I just wanted to discuss a few things about it.
First of all, keep your cool and if you still got two legs and a heart beat, you'll probably be ok.
You can lose alot of blood and still live.
Finding the trail out can be the biggest problem, that's why snow is a good thing as you can sometimes follow your back trail.
When hurt you'll have mega adrenalin, so use that to your advantage and when and if you find help, be chipper and laugh a bit, that will help the first responder to act fast and not freak out.
Saw injuries are mostly just superficial, so keep your cool then too.
Most injuries are not life threatening and those that are will be read about in the news.
Once again, keep your cool and enjoy the adrenalin rush and the warm feeling of the blood.

Well, I can let you know that if you loose 5 units of blood in the woods you will be in trouble.

The first job is to stop the bleeding; The second job is to clean the wound. After the bleeding has stopped and have cleaned dirt and debris out of the wound, apply an antiseptic cream and bandage it well.
Do not "clean" a wound in a stream, river, or lake!
The ability to stop the bleeding, clean, and dress a cut in the wilderness will depend completely upon the quality of your first aid kit. Make sure that the necessary supplies for treating these types of injuries and others before set out on a hike.
