Embodiments of a multi-stage spring system are provided herein. In some embodiments, a multi-stage spring system includes a spring assembly having at least one resilient element, wherein the spring assembly has a first spring constant when deflected up to a first distance, a greater, second spring constant when deflected beyond the first distance and up to a second distance, and a greater, third spring constant when deflected beyond the second distance and up to a third distance, and wherein the spring assembly stores mechanical energy when deflected towards a contact surface that biases the spring assembly away from the contact surface when released.
