That was my first thought too. We probably attended similar first-aid lessons.

additionally; if i'm not mistaken, when a tourniquet is applied it needs to be above the elbow. tying off below the elbow does not stop blood flowing through the flesh between the radius and the ulna. of course, that's if you are already committed to losing the limb anyway.



still, misinformed or not, that's more of a man-of-action response than i'd have ever expected from marten. so good for hiim.

hopefully someone'll set him straight before he ever needs to treat a real injury.

"Welp, there goes his shirt."

Now, whilst we're thinking about Galaxy Quest, imagine this comic as narrated Alan Rickman.

Thrillho:
Just want to add that 'Can you fashion some kind of rudimentary lathe?' is probably my favourite line in the history of cinema.

maneyan:
Damn, hero moment for Marten indeed. While yes, it wasn't maybe exactly how you're meant to do it, but let's face it, that showed Marten's measure, more than almost anything else could have. *salutes Mr Reed*
