HEY JOE BIDEN! Stop advocating murder! If you shoot for the leg, you have a chance to hit the femoral artery, which would cause the victim to bleed out. Looks like you didn’t take highschool science.

Can it work in a pinch? Probably, but a good tourniquet is always superior. I strongly recommend taking a "stop the bleed" class next time it's offered. The life you save could be someone you love.
So you suggest taking a class, awesome I’ll remember that the next time I see one around. Oh wait, using a belt in a hurry is what I was taught. See not everyone stays prepared. Using a belt may not be the best option but a good nylon belt works just like cloth and a stick.
