Walking on Hot Coals

Walking on Hot Coals

PostBy: gaw On: Sat Jul 21, 2012 8:28 am

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Fire officials in California say at least 21 people were treated for burns after attendees of an event for motivational speaker Tony Robbins tried to walk on hot coals.


I wonder if attendees of the event were commenting to one another how the speech was not quite up to par or a bit flat or that maybe Tony is loosing some of his ability to get people motivated. I guess the proof is in the pudding, if not on the soles of the feet.

I will not be wasting any money anytime soon to walk on hot coals. Sorry.

It's all in the way you do it, if you do it right and walk calmly like you normally do you won't get burned. It's when you try and walk on them like you're walking on hot coals you get burned. :P Having said that no thanks.
