I think there should be something (at least on resistance bombers or something) where when a ship with bombs blows up, something like deadman's switch happens where the bombs blow up in everybody's face similar. Seems logical(ish)? Who agrees?

If they were gunpowder-based bombs, sure.
But these sci-fi bombs are proton, seismic, conner, proximity laser stuff. An explosion doesn't necessarily need to detonate them.
For example, real life C4 explosive can sustain fire and firearm shots without detonating. I would expect that in a space era military, they would use bombs that detonate when armed, not by chance or accident.

Basic safety measure, right?
But, oh, well. Star Wars isn't known for handrails either. (And TLJ happened)

Actually that whole idea was tossed around as a house around here. Depending on the bomb/mine the effects could reach out to range 3. For instance, in 1e a prox mine would require dice rolls of 3, 2, 1 for ranges of 1, 2 and 3. Damage wasn't a given. The dice plyed a big part.

Like I said, it was an idea that was tossed around.

Oh, I guarantee, the Empire doesn't have workers comp or dental either.

This exact thing happens in TLJ right?
I mean the bomber formation is flying too close together and one takes out like 2 others with it.

That’s because First Order spy Talli ordered them to stay in very tight formation. Great job Talli!

And they are so thankful for it.
