High G load switch

High G load switch

(OP)
This is my first post, hope this is the right section.  IF it belongs somewhere else, let me know.

I'm looking for a highly reliable miniature switch.  SPDT type and roughly 1/2" above the mounting surface.  The catch is that it has to withstand a G load of 30  Voltage is 9V DC and current is less than 1A.

They will be used for arming avionics in a rocket.  Thus the reason for reliabilty.  If they were to momentarily disconnect, the result would be catastrophic.  

The main source I have looked at is digikey.  The ITT toggle switch with locking actuator looks like it would apply to my needs.  Are there any other good ones that I have overlooked?  Thanks.
