The problems of high costs and lack of flexibility in accelerometers is addressed by inexpensive flexible threshold accelerometer systems and methods for manufacturing them. The accelerometer systems are generally formed from a flexible substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The accelerometers generally utilize a proof mass coupled to an electrical ground. The proof mass is generally separated from one or more contact points on an electrical output by some distance. When the accelerometer experiences an impulse, the proof mass moves toward a contact point in response to the impulse. If the impulse exceeds a threshold (the threshold acceleration to which the accelerometer is sensitive), the proof mass makes contact with the contact point, generating an electrical signal. The electrical signal is detected by a controller or an indicator, which registers an indication that the impulse exceeded the threshold acceleration. In this manner, harmful events can be quickly detected.
