This disclosure relates to a rupture disk (400), which may include a flange portion (401), a reverse-buckling dome portion (403), and a transition portion (402) joining the flange portion to the reverse-buckling dome portion. The dome portion may define an apex. The dome portion may further define an indentation (404) at the apex and/or a line of weakness (405), which may be proximate to the transition portion and/or may include a relatively weak segment configured to initiate rupture. An integral stress concentrating feature may be provided. A line of weakness and/or a base of a domed portion may be non-circular. The disclosure also relates to a rupture disk crimped into a holder (410). The disclosure also relates to a container having a wall that defines a rupturable portion.
