An apparatus protects an actuator from shock forces. The apparatus comprises an inertial latch that has two opposing latch members. In response to a force from a first direction, the first latch member operates to force the actuator to a predetermined position. In response to a force from an opposite direction the second latch member operates to force the actuator to the predetermined position.
