When you want to die, you want to make sure you die 'right'. Or quickly. Apparently, a knife to the gut, then slicing across is very painful. To end the pain, there's someone else that beheads you after you do that. Imagine if that person didn't make a clean cut, and went into your shoulder instead. Now, not only are you suffering a slow and painful death, you have blades sticking out of you.
