(Newser) – Ouch—mind was overcome by matter at a self-help seminar last night when participants scorched their feet during a motivational walk across hot coals. The San Jose Fire Department swooped in and treated "several" people for burn injuries, reports the Mercury News. The event was hosted by feel-good guru Tony Robbins and held at the San Jose Convention Center. The injuries occurred during a portion called "The Firewalk Experience" which involves strolling over coals heated between 1,200 and 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tony Robbins is so grossssssssss. Some people would have stopped things after the first 3 people were burned. but not Tony Robbins. He has to go to 21 to figure things out. What a leader!

Hey, he's tall and has a deep voice.  Doesn't that define success in this country?
