Emergency services were alerted to injuries at a private event on the Au peninsula on Lake Zurich Tuesday evening (Wednesday NZT), Zurich canton (state) police said in a statement.
They said that 25 people were given medical treatment at the scene, and 13 of them were hospitalised with more severe injuries. Investigators secured evidence and started an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
There was no immediate word on why people at the event walked over hot coal.www.1news.co.nz/2022/06/16/25-injured-after-walking-over-hot-coal-in-switzerland/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewalkingi think the idea is to walk over glowing wood embers not hot coal?

Yes, if you get a low density wood, it has a low heat capacity, so it doesn't have much heat energy to transfer to your feet.
If you take polystyrene and steal at the same temperature, the steel contains loads more energy. The polystyrene contains very little energy. Paradoxically, polystyrene can heat up loads faster than steel, because it needs less energy to change temperature.
These guys sound like lemmings. 25 did it? surely you'd let some muppet go first.
