Often not how traps work
Usually it catches a limb or tail and then the rat either starves or chews off whatever got trapped
Being notified when it goes off you could go check right away to release the rodent elsewhere (or quickly kill it if releasing its not your thing)
This was an electric one. Plugs into the wall and shocks them dead when they walk on it. Quite clean actually, not sure how humane it's supposed to be though.
