Explanation: While my knowledge of Norse mythology is a little sparse, to my understanding, the Norse (also sometimes colloquially referred to as 'Vikings', though that formally refers to warriors going raiding) had the best two afterlives of their mythology reserved for warriors who died in battle. No dying in bed for you, gramps! Grab an axe, or you go to the BORING afterlife!

Isn't there a loophole that if you die during sex you get a free pass?

Might be, the past is weird. Like I said though, my knowledge of Norse mythology is a bit sparse lmao
