Science. It works, bitches.
That needs to be a t-shirt...
But you know you could have figured that out just by asking them how careful they are about "preparing" the fire-walk coals. They don't just pour gas on it and strike a match. They have to burn for a certain period of time, then cool for a certain amount of time. That's enough to tell you it's not a paranormal experience right there.
Now lets admit that getting yourself to walk on the coals in the first place can be a serious psychological challenge, and one might benefit from digging deep to find the courage and confidence to do it. It's just not magic, that's all.

You, uh, know that it is, right?

However, a firewalker who invokes a force field probably has a better chance of getting laid then a scientist who invokes the thermal diffusivity equation.
And here I thought new age crap was all about the money. But you say we can get laid if we believe in this shit? Carve out my cortex and count me in.
Seems cruel -- the scientist encourages them to walk the 50 feet knowing that it will burn there feet, potentially badly
Your right.
Where is the *comedy tag?
MythBusters did this too.
Yeah, but when they did it they didn't set out to intentionally burn people.
Granted, the Mythbusters got someone burned too, but it was one of their own people, and there was a fair chance that they might not have gotten burned.
In this case, it was essentially the inevitable result of the experiement as proposed.
That's just petty, and cruel.
