Picture a high pressure hose with water squirting out the end.
Cut the hose in half, severing it, and the same amount of water comes out the new end.
Now picture slitting the hose lengthwise, so now instead of a hose it's a trough. A lot more will come out. Same with blood vessels. If you cut it off, there's still just the little hole in the end for blood to come out. If you slit in lengthwise at the wrist, a lot more blood comes out.

Also of course quick medical attention to stop the bleeding makes a big difference.
