A man from Norway
[apply PIRACY morph]
A Berserk is nothing else than a norse Pirat (aka Viking) (an average job at this time) that "turned berserk" - fell into bloodrush. According to manifold references in monasters down the Rhine river.
A monk, nailed to the floor face down, his arms spread out, his back carefully cut open left and right of the backbone, the lung also carefully spread out over the shoulders, was called a "Bloodeagle" - a sign the Vikings went berserk.
(Not my style, but still in practise at the tax-authorities in most countries.)
Would the monk have worn a fire-fighter coat, this would either haven't happened, or they would have found this very monk first, because of the yellow safety stripes.
That's how fire-fighter coats can change (or end) a live - and lead a thread totally off topic....
