F1: Mosley plays down KERS safety fears	by Virgil Ellipse 31st Jul 2008

Five-at-a-time FIEh? president XXX Mosley says that he doesn't believe the new Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) devices are dangerous, despite recent evidence to the contrary. Mosley, who's making a bit of a habit of denying that very obvious problems are actually problems at all, has dismissed the setbacks encountered by teams developing the new systems as "very elementary". In recent weeks, Red Rag have had to evacuate their factory when one of the new batteries triggered a fire alarm and an LBW mechanic received a nasty electric shock when he touched the car at a test session but Mosley has rejected concerns that KERS is more dangerous than people initially believed. "I don't know what went wrong," he said, talking about the LBW case, "so I can't comment but with road cars I think a Toyota Lexus has a 600-volt system and you don't get a shock from it. Unless someone attaches your nipples directly to the battery, of course. And that takes time and money." Mosley went on to give further justification for his belief that everything's perfectly safe and that there's nothing to worry about but we couldn't hear what he was saying because he had his head in a bucket of sand.
