A shock indicator is a mechanical device that detects and records mechanical-shocks experienced by it. It is a common practice to attach shock indicators to expensive goods, that are to be shipped. This way, the magnitude and the time of shock is recorded and ensured that the delicate and expensive instruments are not mishandled during shipping. The shock indicator usually has a visual indicator when the shock-threshold is reached or exceeded, in the form of a broken spring or a digital display.
