In the latest SWIFT commentary at http://www.randi.org/jr/2007-05/051807.html#i6 , we hear od firewalker Trever McGhee. Twice in that commentary, he was quoted referring to himself as a "Shaman".
Now, as a World of Warcraft player, I know a thing or two about Shamans. I think I know why he wasn't able to complete his firewalk:
He should have dropped a Fire Resistance totem every 40 yards!
Of course, dropping that many totems will deplete his mana pool rather quickly, so he should take a high-end Mana Potion with him to drink when he goes OOM. If necessary, Trever should have a druid stationed next to the last half of the track, who can cast Innervate on him when his mana runs out and his potion timer is on cooldown. The druid could also cast Regrowth and a quick Rejuve on him when he runs by, because even with Fire Resistance, Trever's going to take SOME environmental fire damage from the coals and will need his health-points topped off. Success is a team effort, after all!
