The Associated Press is reporting that 21 people at a San Jose event hosted by San Diego-based motivational speaker Tony Robbins suffered burns while walking across hot coals.

Most of the hurt had second and third degree burns, according to the San Jose Fire Department. Robbins International, Robbins's company, claimed that 6,000 attendees walked across the coals successfully on Thursday.
