Fire officials said 21 people at an event hosted by motivational speaker Tony Robbins suffered burns while walking across hot coals and three of the injured were treated at hospitals.

The injuries took place during the first day on Thursday of a four-day event at the San Jose Convention Centre hosted by Robbins called Unleash The Power Within.

Most of those hurt had second and third degree burns, said San Jose Fire Department Captain Reggie Williams.

Walking across hot coals on lanes measuring 3m long and heated to between 649 to 1093 deg C provides attendees an opportunity to 'understand that there is absolutely nothing you can't overcome,' according to the motivational speaker's website.
