Tony Robbins Hot-Coal Walk Injures Dozens
Tony Robbins Hot-Coal Walk Injures Dozens: Dallas Fire officials report that as many as 40 people have been injured during the “walking on hot coals” segment of a Tony Robbins motivational seminar costing up to $2995, where attendees are encouraged to “turn fear into power” by walking 15 feet across 1200-degree hot coals.
A Robbins spokesperson told reporters that safety has always been their primary concern and that paramedics are always close at hand. While this may be so, on a personal level, I’ve always preferred seminars where medical personnel don’t have to be on standby. But that’s a personal preference.
Sources familiar with Tony Robbins seminars say that once participants master the hot coal walk, they then become eligible to move on to the next level which involves crossing molten lava fields. Participants who finish that event without injury are awarded an official Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” cap — reportedly signed by Trump himself.
Dallas police say that so far, the worst injuries appear to have been sustained by the elderly man using the walker and the triple amputee. While many attendees say they enjoyed the seminar, others felt like Robbins just raked them over the coals. If you ask me, I think the point where they really got burned was when they handed over the $$2995. That said, in his defense, at least Tony didn’t take them sky diving or have them eat light bulbs. In related news, Santa Claus has reportedly told his elves that Robbins can expect a lump of coal in his stocking this Christmas.
As for me, I really feel sorry for the injured. One would hope that after they have their burns treated, they get a mental evaluation as well. Personally, I never quite understood why no one ever says to him, “sure Tony, how ‘bout you go first?” Anyway, that reminds me, I’d better pick up some charcoal for the grill on my way back home from work today.
