Have you ever wanted to listen to a self-help guru and then get second- and third-degree burns? That's what happened to some attendees at a Tony Robbins event in San Jose Thursday night.

According to the San Jose Mercury-News, "At least 21 people were treated for burn injuries after taking part in the crowning event of the first day of a Tony Robbins function downtown, including at least three who went to the hospital, a San Jose fire captain said." Apparently "12 lanes of hot coals measuring 10 feet long and 2½-feet wide rested on the grass"—and around 1,200-2000 degrees hot—were waiting for attendees to test their powers.

One witness, Jonathan Correll, said his attention was attracted when "I heard wails of pain, screams of agony... It was people seriously hurting, like they were being tortured. First one person, then a couple minutes later another one, and there was just a line of people walking on that fire. It was just bizarre, man." Correll also took video, but was asked an organizer to stop filming (where is that video?!?!).

People who have walked the coals say it's really amazing and one participant said, "I did it before, didn't get into the right state and got burned. I knew I wasn't at my peak state. I didn't take it as serious." Well, here's a video of a firewalk during a Tony Robbins event (it might be from Thursday)—listen to the chants of "Yes! Yes! Yes!":
