A vehicle seating assembly includes an armrest having a retention pin and operable about a first pivot. An inertial lock is operable about a second pivot to define an idle position defined by the inertial lock biased distal from the retention pin and a deployed position defined by an opposing directional force biasing the inertial lock into selective engagement with the retention pin and holding the armrest in a predetermined rotational position.
