any small cut to the head bleeds a lot but easy to stop and not serious. If it serious boy would be KO. But for parents the normal reaction is to go bananas. You can see this in sports. Once I saw Zidane get a knee to the skull and he sat there with thick blood flowing. I said he is going to be replaced. He was off pitch to be patched up and return to play. I got a tennis racket to the eye brow. I was OK but the other guys faces showed the bleeding was affecting them. I laid on the court with my back to the floor. Pulled short off to stop the bleeding while the guy went to get tissues. My only worry: driving back home in Stockholm with a bloodied hair and bloodied T shirt. The black eye next day when I went to work. People staring at it and thinking that I got punched

TJ, from personal experience I can assure you he will be fine. Something similar happen to me about similar age, may be a bit older, the scars are there barely noticeable. .... and yes a lot of bleeding and anyone around gets extremely worried but those are positive lessons learned at the end to realize there are limitations. If talking from personal experience be prepared for more unpleasant surprises and worries by Jack being hurt from other accidents into adolescence. If my speculation is right this is a character trait, and should not be wasted! Try to channel his daring energies in something that it will be useful to him in the future. Recollecting my adventures and accidents even when in the army, I was not properly guided but suppressed and this is a pity which I realize now. We can chat on this on skype

Kids are tough at that age. I recall when son fell, bit through the space between his chin and lower lip. Rushed him to ER. Not a peep after the incident nor during the sewing up. He now has a barely visible scar. Jack might have enough of a scar to brag to the ladies about his Hong Kong dueling days. Probably not, young skin doesn't seem to scar much.
