I'm sure IF, I was able to run 100 mph. The pressure wave from a high-explosive probably moves at 101!

I can't speak for an un-fused bomb self detonating, but a nice tight ball of C4 has a blast wave that starts out at over 8800 meters/s. Get in the way of that, and they screen the dirt for your remains. The bomb in question is more likely to burn than blow. Without the detonator, it would be hard to concentrate enough energy to set it off. They are actually designed to withstand aircraft crashes without going off, even with the fuses in place.
