Getting burned is not a part of the program. Steven Gullan is an expert in his field, of which firewalking is only one small, but fascinating area. He draws on 19 years of specialised knowledge to create the very precise circumstances where participants can walk safely. Given that you are not under the influence of alcohol or other drugs affecting the function of your nervous system, and given that you follow simple basic instructions, there is very little probability of you or anyone getting burned. The program is designed to inform you and to empower you – so that you know whether or not you can walk safely.
