English term or phrase: pressure plate
A man steps on something, which is probably an old mine from the war. There is no explosion, but he freezes and doesn't know what to do. Bomb disposal experts want to help, and they shout: "Is is a pressure plate?". Someone else answers: "Well, if it was, he would be dead".

Reference information:
Mina posiada dwa stopnie zabezpieczenia: 1-go stopnia zawleczkę zabezpieczającą, oraz 2-go stopnia płytę naciskową.

Then the mine is placed into a shallow hole in the ground (flush with the surface) and the pressure plate is carefully rotated...
