Dozens Injured in Tony Robbins Fire Walk

Tony Robbins hot coal walk injures dozens, authorities say.


Quote:

At least 30 people were treated for minor burns after walking on hot coals during self-help guru Tony Robbins' "Unleash the Power Within" seminar in Dallas,Texas, fire and medical officials said.

According to Robbins' website, the "fire walk" is intended to help people conquer their fears by walking across hot coals. It takes place during the "Turn Fear Into Power" portion of the event.

"Walking over those hot coals is a symbolic experience that proves if you can make it through the fire, you can make it through anything," his website says.

Of the more than 7,000 participants, at least 30 sustained minor burns to their feet and five were hospitalized, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans.

I guess he didn't adequately explain thermal conductivity and the importance of moving quickly across the coals, or some material with a higher conductivity got mixed in. At least they regretted the incident and apologized...


Quote:

Robbins' website posted Friday, "We are pleased to have completed another successful fire walk for 7,000 guests and look forward to the remainder of an outstanding weekend with them."

...or not.
