Pippin:

Voldemort, née Riddle, knows all about Muggle death traps. I agree that wizards aren't necessarily bullet-proof, but a shield charm combined with a disillusionment charm and a flame-freezing charm would probably be a saving throw for Muggle weapons -- and you don't suppose Voldemort or his DE's go about without such protection, do you?

If the DE's were in the habit of walking into traps, the Aurors would've caught them a long time ago.
