SAN FRANCISCO — Fire officials said 21 people at an event hosted by motivational speaker Tony Robbins suffered burns while walking across hot coals and three of the injured were treated at hospitals.

The injuries took place during the first day Thursday of a four-day event at the San Jose Convention Center hosted by Robbins called “Unleash the Power Within.” Most of those hurt had second and third degree burns, said San Jose Fire Department Capt. Reggie Williams.

Walking across hot coals on lanes measuring 10 feet long and heated to between 1,200 to 2,000 degrees provides attendees an opportunity to “understand that there is absolutely nothing you can’t overcome,” according to the motivational speaker’s website.

Robbins Research International said in a written statement that 6,000 attendees of the event walked across the coals Thursday.

Requests for additional information from The Associated Press were not immediately returned.

"Unleash the........what the fuck! MY FEET ARE BURNING!!!!"

Tony is a fake and a money hungry jerk.

you play with fire..........you get burned.

We all should have learned that as toddlers

6,000 walked across the coals and didn't get burned? I play the BS card on this one......

coal walking has been examined for years and there are particular rocks to be used in the practice. That is, volcanic rock that has a structure very similar to a sponge, it's full of holes. That way, the heat doesn't transfer from the hot side to the soles of your feet. Use any other type of rock and you're in for sore feet.

Plus, the "walk" has to be prepared a certain way...if too many walked before you and turned the rocks over so that the hot side was up when YOU took your turn, you're going to get burned.

Same as all "mind over matter" exercises, they all have "gimmicks".......like the bed of nails, sure, your weight is evenly distributed over 200 nails....so the pressure on each one isn't enough to pierce your skin....you want to impress me? Lay on 10..........(but keep an ambulance on hand, you're gonnna need it)

So true people are so gullible. It's always either an illusion or a gimmick that is hidden from the gullible.
