21 people were burned at an Anthony Robbins Unleash the Power Within event when they attempted to walk on hot coals. Evidently, for the 20 burn victims that followed the first, the power within that was unleashed wasn’t common sense.

From here:

Nearly two dozen people were treated for burns on their feet after walking on hot coals during a motivational seminar conducted by self-help expert Tony Robbins in San Jose, Calif., local media reported.

Firefighters treated at least 21 people for burns to the soles of their feet, several of them second- and third-degree, on Thursday night, according to a report in the San Jose Mercury News. None of the injuries was life-threatening, the report said.

It was the first night of the motivational seminar called “Unleash the Power Within,” a four-day Robbins event attended by some 6,000 people, the Mercury News reported.
