People who participated in a Tony Robbins motivational event said they were warned that walking on hot coals could be dangerous.
San Jose firefighters treated 21 people for burns when they walked across hot coals at the motivational speaker's even Thursday. Some of those suffering second- and third-degree burns.
Participant Sahar Madani told Channel 2 KTVU that they were told walking on the coal could be dangerous but they needed to shift their mental focus. “Get your focus and attention away from that and look into the power within yourself and just focus on walking through the fire,” Madani told the station.
Julia Wilson, another participant told the station: “He tells us to say, 'Cool moss, cool moss, cool moss,' and not look down and it’s amazing what your mind can do when you get it in the right state."
Organizers said the hot coals were between 1,200 and 2,000 degrees.
