Maybe because it would be quite difficult. You would have to make sure the probe's velocity exactly matched that of the particles before going into the ring plane, otherwise they would collide with it and damage it. And even if the speed were matched, the chances of collisions and damage are pretty high.
Any given particle is moving at the same speed as other particles in its vicinity. So the collisions, when they happen, will be quite gentle. Still, these are essentially just lumps of ice -- quite fragile. Fragmentation probably occurs.

why haven't they sent a prone into the rings? all they do is orbit around them

what happens when these small rocks collide with eachother?

I created it myself using software called 3DS Max.
