How do you know/not know if a cut needs stitches without making the trip to the ER?

I caught my leg on a nasty rock when I was surfing today. The cut looks pretty bad, but I can't tell if the cut is deep enough for it to need stitches. I'm kinda hoping not, because I don't want them. 😂

GO! I am not trying to scare you by any means, but by the headlines lately, there have been bad bacteria in the water and people have found themselves dead within an hour. So just to be safe and not sorry, please go have that looked at. This was a flesh eating type thing from the water and these people died before they had a chance to get help.
