There are both tilt and shock style indicators. They are pretty simple
devices. I believe that the tilt ones just have a sticky surface and
some red particles which if tilted get stuck to the sticky surface in
order to indicate the tilted condition. The shock sensors are similar,
but must have some sort of membrane which ruptures, allowing the particles
to flow onto the sticky surface, or something.
