A tilt indicator, comprising: a base member having a cavity having a reservoir retaining a granular indicating media therein, indicating areas (40,42,44), a buffering area located between the reservoir and the indicating areas, and a blocking element located within the buffering area; and a rear member, which is attached to a surface of the base member so as to enclose the cavity, the rear member having an adhesive portion located corresponding to the indicating areas (40,42,44); the indicating areas including a first indicating area for visually indicating an inversion tilting event and a second indicating area for visually indicating a tilt event; and wherein the first indicating area is positioned so that in response to an inversion tilting event at least a portion of the indicating media exits the reservoir and travels to the first indicating area, the adhesive portion retaining at least a portion of the indicating media within the first indicating area; and wherein the second indicating area is positioned so that in response to a tilt event at least a portion of the indicating media exits the reservoir and travels to the second indicating area, the adhesive portion retaining at least a portion of the indicating media within the second indicating area; and wherein the blocking element is configured such that, responsive to a lateral acceleration event, at least a portion of the indicating media exiting the reservoir and entering the buffering area area-is impeded by the blocking element from reaching the indicating areas, and responsive to a cessation of the lateral acceleration event, the portion of the indicating media entering the buffering area returns to the reservoir. a base member having a cavity having a reservoir retaining a granular indicating media therein, indicating areas (40,42,44), a buffering area located between the reservoir and the indicating areas, and a blocking element located within the buffering area; and a rear member, which is attached to a surface of the base member so as to enclose the cavity, the rear member having an adhesive portion located corresponding to the indicating areas (40,42,44); the indicating areas including a first indicating area for visually indicating an inversion tilting event and a second indicating area for visually indicating a tilt event; and wherein the first indicating area is positioned so that in response to an inversion tilting event at least a portion of the indicating media exits the reservoir and travels to the first indicating area, the adhesive portion retaining at least a portion of the indicating media within the first indicating area; and wherein the second indicating area is positioned so that in response to a tilt event at least a portion of the indicating media exits the reservoir and travels to the second indicating area, the adhesive portion retaining at least a portion of the indicating media within the second indicating area; and wherein the blocking element is configured such that, responsive to a lateral acceleration event, at least a portion of the indicating media exiting the reservoir and entering the buffering area area-is impeded by the blocking element from reaching the indicating areas, and responsive to a cessation of the lateral acceleration event, the portion of the indicating media entering the buffering area returns to the reservoir.
