Why does Link take so little damage from a Bomb Impact Launch (windbomb)

Why does Link take so little damage from a Bomb Impact Launch (windbomb) - Little girl collect raw pasta with metal spoon in plastic container

I have recently learned how to BIL (windbomb), but was wondering why even when you fail you take so little damage.

Here's what I've picked up:

Success: ½ - ¾ ❤︎

Fail: 2 - 3 ½ ❤︎

While a normal bomb, from what I remember, is closer to 4 - 5 ❤︎.

Why is exploding in a BIL so relatively harmless compared to normal explosions? Does it have to deal with Bullet Time like so many other glitches?

Is bomb impact launch patched?

Remote Bombs normally deal 12 damage with a six second cool down. After being upgraded to the Remote Bomb +, they deal 24 damage with a three second cool down. The blast radius does not change upon upgrading.
