A firewalking seminar in Moscow region’s city of Khimki ended in burns for most participants, an online tabloid reported on Monday.
Eighteen of 30 women who partook in the seminar had to seek medical help after walking some five meters over glowing coals in a bid to “strengthen their spirit,” Lifenews.ru said.
No case was opened because none of the victims required hospitalization, local police was cited as saying.
None of the victims sued for compensation, and at least one of them said she wants to repeat the experience, the tabloid said.
