Default Re: Shock detecting mechanisms?

Mems accelerometers are all over the place.

Cellphones to tell which way you're holding them or moving them
Cars to trigger airbags and for stability control systems
Laptops with spinning disc drives to sense being dropped to quickly park the heads.
Wii type game controllers.
