A Boring Dystopia

I agree but people were putting them on superficial stab wounds, not tightening them sufficiently, and wouldn't control time of placement correctly leading to several preventable deaths. People who weren't even remotely in life or death situations ended up death from tourniquet related complications. Weapons and gunshot wounds on limbs aren't even remotely as frequent as in the US to warrant having tourniquets used by first aid amateurs. It's even part of some EU nations first aid training materials to exclude them from lay people first aid training other than explaining risk and dangers and only certified paramedics can apply them.
