Walking over hot coals!
9:31am Friday 5th June 2009 in
A GROUP of fundraisers hot-footed it through one of the world’s shortest charity walks last night – 20ft over a bed of burning wood embers.
Cheered on by dozens of onlookers, around 20 brave people took the daring walk over the hot coals in aid of Oakhaven Hospice in Lymington.
The walk, staged by professional company Blaze, was held at a house in Vaggs Lane, Hordle, and organisers hope to raise £10,000 for the hospice.

Where's the health and safety, along with risk assessment?
Seems they can implement it for ladders and childrens playgrounds etc, yet the very obvious fire and health risks, such as this, are allowed to remain.
Security word jump-walk
love it.
