In GURPS injury from a single hit above the minimum needed to cripple a limb or extremity is lost (see B421).

Someone could deal 1 billion damage to your arm and "all" that would happen is a) your arm is gone, b) you need to roll for knockdown and stun (for taking a major wound) and most importantly c) you only take as much injury as was needed to cripple the arm (6 for a 10 HP person). A 10 HP person would have to have sustained 14 injury previously to be in danger of dying to an attack to the arm.

So in that situation, the Bless spell would (most likely) also have saved the life of the recipient.
