Those fuses where used to maximize the chance to hit an airplane even when you didn't get a direct hit. Proximity fuses greatly increased the lethal effect. And any not detonated one would be even a greater risk. When airplanes drop high-explosive or incendiary bombs on you, that risk becomes somewhat acceptable...
