Question

Is it because, one of the wires when cut, makes the bomb explode?

Answer 1

Long story short, because disarmament is dangerous and bomb disposal is not only easier, but safer. Its actually pretty rare to see true “disarmament.” Usually a bomb tech will elect to blow-in-place, or BIP the device after securing is under a blast shield, or use what’s called a disruptor charge which is essentially a shotgun shell filled with water to destroy the bomb’s trigger mechanism without causing detonation.
