Why the reaction of decomposition nitroglycerine occurs rather than combustion when a bomb containing nitroglycerine explodes on impact?

The decomposition of nitroglycerine occurs in a bomb explosion rather than combustion because the reaction is rapid and uncontrollable, releasing heat and gases at a faster rate than combustion. This rapid release of energy causes an explosive shock wave that shatters the container and creates the destructive force associated with explosions.
