your battery might be moving and contacting the body and shorting out for a sec. also check the tie down make sure the battery is secure. that shock is def. shutting the system down. for sure power/ground related check your fuse box positive terminal connections as well

Yes you are definatly either loosing connection or shorting to ground during the launch, Check all battery cables and grounds and do not drive until you figure it out a pos ground to the chassis can result in a fire quickly!

The battery hold downs are known to crap out.. And let the battery slide back under hard launch....
