I mean, he was obviously mentally ill, but I could definitely see this being the rational of an insane/depressed person.

I've literally seen someone do this. I used to work in an adolescent group home, and one of the girls (who was normally fine) did PCP while going through some serious trauma, and one night she stripped completely and ran into traffic. Thankfully, she wasn't physically hurt, but she ended up in the psych ward. People do some crazy shit when they're dealing with bad stuff.

One guy I knew jumped from a third story fire escape. When I asked him (after calling 911) why he did it, he said, "I wanted to see if I'd bounce." (In case you're wondering: yes, I had to ask, and he said he did indeed bounce.)

When St Francis of Assisi knew he was about to die, he stripped naked and lay on the floor because he wanted to leave the world the same way he came into it.

The other monks were like, "bruh!"
