What is the point of protective gear when disarming bombs?

Today, I saw a video of a Ukrainian disarming a ship mine that was washed ashore. They covered the tips so they wouldn’t be triggered and carried it off to explode someplace safe. Someone stated it was fake because they were not wearing bomb gear. I think it was real enough. But my question was what is the point of bomb gear? Is it so you end up in fewer pieces? I mean if it can blow a hole on a ship in water then I don’t see bomb gear saving anyone.
