This is not to say there aren't pressure release triggers for booby traps though, just no production mines designed to blow up AFTER lifting your foot.
What possible use would there be after all for a mine that actually gives the target a chance to disarm it?
some mines has a lift trigger / pressure release trigger that goes off if the pressure is relieved.

As you say - why would you have such a trigger ? But they can be set to go off if you relieve the applied pressure.


The old "click" -uh-oh! I am on a mine etc .. isnt very real I agree.But fully possible.
