Fireworks don’t typically go off when you step on them.

This was some form of pressure triggered explosive.

There is a short video showing the EMTs heading to the downed hiker. It looks to be in the middle of a well worn trail, not hidden in a wooded area.

That's my take, too.

This is why I quit geocaching a few years back. A shame to ruin a fun activity.
