Fire and Broken Glass Walking - Taunton

Seen Fire Walking on your holidays to the East or on TV - want to give it a go? Well the good news is that you don't need to travel to far-flung places to give it a go. Extreme Element can offer you the chance to experience this extreme activity here in the UK! After a brief instructional seminar you too will be able to walk over hot coals at 1000 to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. As part of that seminar you will also have the opportunity to walk across a bed of broken glass! Extreme times two!

Agenda

This experience takes place after sunset – the photographs and video are even more spectacular! You will register and be guided through safety procedures, techniques, and the science behind this seemingly impossible activity. Once the seminar has been completed and before the Fire Walk takes place you will need to sign a Liability Release and Assumption of Risk form to signify that you are undertaking the activity voluntarily and are aware of the inherent risks involved in activities with fire!

Restrictions
Age Restrictions: Min age is 18. Participants must not be under the influence of drugs (including alcohol), and must be able to walk at least 30 feet unaided. All participants are subject to an assessment by Fire Walker staff that they are fit to participate.

Duration
The Fire Walking experience (including the seminar) will last for between an 1 1/2 hours and 2 1/2 hours (depending upon climatic conditions). Most participants will have the opportunity to cross the bed of coals at least twice (again dependent on the weather). You should aim to arrive ten to fifteen minutes before your allotted time, as once the seminar has begun, no further admission is permitted

What to Wear / Equipment
Light coloured clothing makes for better photographs, zip-offs or trousers that easily roll up will avoid them being burned! Ladies – tights are a No-No!
