You'd be fine. The ash on hot coals is an incredibly effective contact insulant.

That's why people can walk on it. There's no mystic mind-over-matter to it, just physics (although, the mental effort to convince yourself that walking on embers is OK, is massive, sure).

Granted, if you laid there feeling sorry for yourself you'd get pretty warm pretty quick.
