Luftwaffe Tip and Run 'skip-bombing'?

I have seen numerous reports during the 1942-43 Tip and Run raids of Luftwaffe lone raiders 'skip-bombing' their bombs down UK streets etc.

Was this actually a bombing tactic (as the sensitive fuzes could get damaged) or was it just delayed action bombs or bombs not detonating on impact?
