    I’m sure there is some science here, but on first glance it looks more likely to set off a mine, or at least gives you less control over where you step.

      I think mines need a certain amount of weight on them to trigger in most cases. These seem to spread your weight out to at least 4 points and possible angle it outwards so maybe it will slide off trigger plates.

      Less surface area so less likely to land on a trigger perhaps?
