00:00When a performer walks on burning hot coals, you might think they just have a really high
00:06pain tolerance. But if this ritual is done correctly, it actually shouldn't hurt them at all.
00:12You see, they use a specific type of coal that is made from wood. The first layer burns down
00:18and creates a surface of ash that insulates the heat, keeping most of it trapped inside.
00:23And as the performers walk fast over the coals,
00:26they make sure their feet only stay in contact with this top layer for a short period of time.
00:32Which is how this ritual is done.
