Personally I would’ve broken off the majority of the arrow, so that the head doesn’t get moved around if the rest of the arrow hits somthin. I do however understand this might just not look as cool or somthing though.

You would have a better chance of getting cut open and bleeding even more if you tried to pull it out.

I get the feeling based on the look on her face that Yuri left it intact because she *wants* the arrowhead to move around.

The main reason not to try and break the arrow shaft that is it's going to be hard to do that without disturbing the arrowhead. With the material strength of arrow shafts being a concern, it definitely wouldn't be easy to keep the whole thing steady. Any professional arrow that you would just be able to make go "snap" with a quick flex of the hands would never be suitable to be shot from a bow. Even using hardware is going to disturb the arrow head far too much.
As to the arrow head, while most people will cite the reversed barbed nature of the intruding arrow as a reason not to hastily extract it, the main reason to not disturb it or anything that penetrates your skin deeply is to prevent additional, potentially fatal bleeding. The arrow head is acting like a wedge that forced separation between the now two ends of something, and it continuing to block those two ends from each other and restrict the contents of the said thing being severed from coming out. Even the shaft is acting like a stop-gap against the "inside" escaping to the "outside" in larger quantities.

You make a good point, especially with the quality of the shaft.
