The booby traps are set off after every cycle of your mining lasers.
It's only the newer missions such as blockade as far as I have seen. Maybe others.

well, is it in every mission that is new, or is it random?

Does it only damage the miner or anyone near it?

(1) Don't fly what you cannot afford to lose.
(2) Bare minimum skill means that you can only undock with it and nothing else.

I've not had anyone with me while I mined the roids, but it doesn't seem to affect the rats. Doesn't mean much though.

So far I have only encountered this in The Blockade.
Using mining lasers triggers the booby traps in the asteroids, with a delay of 1-3 min between start of mining and start of explosions (so they seem to happen at the end of the mining cycle) . Mining drones do not trigger the explosions.
Damage is 500 before applying resists, sometimes a bit less, but never under 200. The explosions are area effect.
If several people mine, you will trigger whole cascades of explosions. That means a hauler or mining barge will be quickly damaged by that. A Hulk or Dominix can just ignore the damage with some repper work. It has been described as "chinese fire*****ers going off the whole time".
The truely annoying feature of this is that the system messages about the booby traps are painted on EACH AND EVERY com window you have open, local, corp .. anything. So having a decent conversation is almost impossible as the text scrolls away at blinding speed amidst all those system messages.
Have fun
Ian

Would be nice if in the mission briefing said that the area had traps and trying to explore the roid belts would trigger those traps.

i wonder if you can use the boobie traps to kill the rat frigates.... get raven close to roid, put a mining laser on one of hte spare high slots... kill BSs and Cruisers, mine roid... wait for asteroids to start exploding.... see rat frigates go pop...... :)
Corp Channel:
Ok guys, gonna run a Blockade, who wants to come? Bring your barges, we will mine and let the roids kill all the rats. We will have 2 basilisks providing shisld transfers to the 6 barges...
The ultimate carebear mission..... You get to mine and have the roids do the killing for you
