I was thinking about that scene. First, sign that convict guy up for the starting rotation on the Gotham Prison baseball team, that was a damned precise throw out the window. Secondly, it would seem to me that tossing the trigger out the window would be a sure-fire way to set the bomb off. Either the switch could be triggered by the impact with the water, or it'd be likely that such a remote trigger is rigged such that any loss of signal would set the bomb off to prevent someone from just smashing the thing.

Just sayin'.
