Michael Finney, a 21-year-old supervisor at Carl’s Jr. across from the campus, said he came out of the bathroom to see a woman in a booth bleeding from the calf. Two friends were trying to stop the bleeding, using the victim’s sweatshirt as a tourniquet, but it wasn’t helping, he told the San Jose Mercury News.
“Everyone was figuring out what to do,” Finney said. “I was trying to stay calm and see what I could do. Everybody is shocked.”

Take your pick for Life Saving device in case of profuse bleeding:
A) Sweater.
Or, B) Tourniquet
I wear a belt for more than keeping my britches up.
One quibble- I wish the makers of tourniquets would stop making them in black or other drab colours. Blaze orange or safety green would be a better choice.
they are available in orange: try Chinook Medical. Others, likely, as well.
T on the their forehead in their own blood is what I was taught to alert medical personal to the tourniquet’s presence.
There’s going to be lots of blood around if you’re needing to use the thing.
and the time of application is possible.
Recon Medical has them in orange a light blue.

I always carry a tourniquet. I have a flat one that is easy to pocket. I also have another that is easier to work, Velcro, and I carry it in a cargo pocket but not as flat.
