Any chance you could use something like this?

Spring-loaded contacts like that can bounce under vibration, I believe,
although it might take rather a lot.
A potentially more significant problem with using phone/audio jacks is
that there can be brief shorts between adjacent *sets* of contacts as the
plug is inserted or withdrawn (unless the plug is purely a pull pin and is
entirely non-conductive, e.g. plastic). Be sure your circuit can handle
that without loud surprises!
