You could survive 20 or 30 stabbings from a spoon.
The only stab wound in the heart one can survive is a stab wound of love.

I suppose that if you were stabbed with a rather small knife in a place that you wouldn't bleed like crazy, then I suppose it's possible to survive 20-30 stabs, although you better get yourself to a hospital quick.

As for being stabbed in the heart, it would depend on where you were stabbed and how deep the knife went, but I would guess you wouldn't live more than 2-3 minutes, and that would be very generous. But you could be dead in seconds if the stab is bad enough.

Yes, you could survive being stabbed 20 to 30 times. However, that would mean stabbed in the extremeties (i.e. hand, foot, leg, arm) and with no puncture of any major arteries or veins.

If the stabbing occurred in the heart, the victim would suffer from severe blood loss, and unless they were in the parking lot of a hospital, death would be iminent. It would take less than 3 minutes to bleed to death from that many stab wounds to the chest area. Unless the wounds were superficial, the trauma would result in a seemingly instant death.

Hope this helps!

It would depend on what you were stabbed with and in what part of the body. I mean, if you were stabbed with a penknife in the leg that many times, you would bleed pretty well, but you would survive, but one good stab to the pericardium (sac around the heart muscle) and you will die before getting to the hospital. Bleeding out doesn;t take very long. You would become unconscious pretty fast first.

If no vital organs are hit, yes you could survive being stabbed any number of times. You generally don't bleed to death when stabbed in the heart. The heart usually quits due to damage when stabbed.

"Could" is a subjective word. Yes you "Could" be stabbed 20 or 30 times and survive. Assuming no organs are punchard and you get pressure on all the wounds and stop bleading, That said... chances are that NO you would DIE pretty frickin quick. If stabbed int eh heart, only a few minutes. or less.

Please dont stab him, he is a guy. he caint help it. just leave him, it will hurt him even more than death.

If it doesn't puncture an artery anyone can live if they are stabbed in the heart, and yes, a person can survive being stabbed 20 -30 times if the stab wounds are not fatal.

a laceration of the heart muscle usually results in death within three minutes if the pericardium is also lacerated. Sometimes, death can be forstalled if the pericardial sac is intact and surgery to correct the hole in the muscle tissue is done immediately.
And yes, you can survive multiple stab wounds, but that would depend entirely on where those wounds occured, ie missing vital organs and blood vessels.

Two different questions,stabbed 20-30 times you could survive if no major organs were damaged and medical assistance was readily available.Stabbed in the heart? Remember the Crocodile Hunter? You would probably die before you bled out!!

What is this, "if no arteries or vital organs are hit" crap? That doesn't matter! If a person is stabbed 20 to 30 times, even if it's with a fork, that person may die from severe blood loss. It doesn't take long to lose all your blood if you're stabbed THAT many times.
