Formula 1 teams switched to the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (also known as KERS) and they are now thinking about reconsidering this decision due to failures in the system. There have been two known incidents.

The first incident involved the U.K. Red Bull team when they were forced to call the fire department. The second incident was caught on tape. In the video a mechanic for BMW was literally shocked – but thankfully he was not injured. Check out the video.
