I grew up in a Village, deep inside a forest at very high altitude (you can see the Himalayan mountain range almost at eye level). Anyways, the local witch Doctor used to do this. Not just coal, but Red hot Iron axe and then press on the patient's leg. No burns at all, but that was supposed to ward off evil spirit from the body. My maternal grandfather still tells me the day he saw a Bigfoot type creature stealing a big bull on it's shoulders and walking away. Had an elder relative who was very powerful in occult; he and other relatives told me - when he a kid, was abducted by some forest dwarf wizard type thing and trained him in occult. He was gone a few years, and returned with all this knowledge of occult. I've seen some Pretty unexplainable things. I forgot about these after all these years because I moved to city for college and work; just get reminded again when I see videos like this.

[@countrylife04]

that's not a fire walk, that's more of a coal walk 😂

[@jamiejohnson6082]

*coal

[@countrylife04]

@@jamiejohnson6082 yup my bad 😂

[@santhoshhn5953]

South India this is quite common during festivals.

[@joeym9169]

Please tell me how this "breaks physics?" In case you did not realize skin is a ridiculously good insulator. And on top of that were 60% water which is an even better insulator. It may be able to melt aluminum but it still takes minutes for the aluminum to melt, whereas these people stay on for seconds

[@mjazzguitar]

Try it and get back to us.

[@medvvasqz6265]

You’re free to try and test it

Love is a Power of Soul

[@alksi1]

Its the same thing as with when you put your finger in a candleflame for a few milliseconds. Plus training, years of training to harden your soles.

[@Curtisnoctys]

That's a special trick called adrenaline.

[@mohayc8877]

It's called being lucifer's slave.

[@TicTac-g7m]

I don't think adrenaline saves your skin from 1000° temperatures.

[@BrumKid]

The trick is the damp sand before they walk and the damp sand when they get to the end.

[@johnjones2nd667]

Those guys all get blisters, they just never show them.

[@southfromtexas2527]

Almost did this one time but then I got cold feet

[@kvt.nxte.]

You guys should go and check out firewalkers in Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯

[@norgepalm7315]

Ash on your foot.. learned this one in high school, mate.

[@ange_mo]

You're the only one who got it right.

[@Lefty16jd]

There's a reason why they're walking across the coals with a person on their back while they're stomping their feet. They are directing the heat away from their foot every time they stomp and there's a precise Rhythm to their foot lifting off to keep it from getting burned. I've talked to a few glass and hot coal walkers at Venice Beach lol.

[@mariniliev21]

This is nothing come see the Bulgarians walking 5 minutes on the fire 🔥

[@jayyoutube8790]

It works much the same way as you having the ability to hold a glowing hot shuttle tile with your bare hand without getting burnt..

[@hushgirl2836]

even the traditional warrior/fighter from my country have the tradition walk through the pit of fire... interesting

[@xaviercain356]

Now u know that when u hear saint in the name

[@FryGuyNS]

The ashes foot sweat and walking quickly and smoothly is key to not getting burned. It does NOT defy physics!

[@lalithkumar777]

In Tamil Nadu (India)these ritual happens alot ..

[@inahmoo5105]

As cool as this is, unfortunately, this is not breaking physics. The Mythbusters tested this one and did the fire walking themselves. Nothing special about it, Sorry.
