Platelets prevent excess bleeding. Whenever you have a wound, whether it be a tiny scrape or a bigger injury, platelets travel to the wound site and act as clotting agents. Even when they are not trying to stop open bleeding, they help stop internal bleeding as well by stopping seepage into your capillaries.
