If you can't stop the bleeding or more importantly stem the bleeding till an ambulance arives typically in 15 minutes or less (not a chopped that takes half an hour) by applying pressure to the wound you're doing it wrong.

you're missing the point. a 100lbs girl who hasn't worked a day in her life is not going to be able to squeeze an artery as large as that against the bone to stop the bleeding, never the less for 15 minutes or more while holding it up at the same time. The logic of the pressure and elevation method does not work here this is not a simple laceration of a small magnitude.
