Hi,
An adult human can lose 10-15% without clinical damage.  If one loses 30% it can be fatal (haermorraghic [shock due to loss of blood]).  An "average" adult male has some 5 litters of blood.  Sudden loss of 1/3 of his blood can be fatal.  However if the lose rate us slow (say: 24 hours) he can lose as much as 2/3 of the blood with much risk (well documented).  So it's not only the amount of blood that one is losing but, the rate one loses it.  It's also a matter of maintaining the blood pressure.
Best regards,
