Falling on a Grenade

[Poseidon]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
It's exactly how it sounds, you could fall on a grenade and absorb most of the blast with your body.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
This would be an extremely beneficial addition to the game for newer players. I remember when I first started playing I accidently fired my pulse rifle's mounted grenade launcher in the RO line. I was instantly critted, others were wounded and I received a one day ban. If in that moment I could throw myself on top of the grenade, I would've done it in a heartbeat. If someone has a prosthetic hand, they are holding a primed grenade and then, oops, "anon's left hand malfunctions." You drop it, it explodes, then the wave of looc "ban hes" flood in.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
You could simply use the "rest" command on top of a live grenade and it would instantly crit you, crippling limbs at random, and then those in the tile next to you will be injured to twenty-five percent of their current health. those two tiles away would be injured for fifteen of their current health.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
See above.

Sounds pretty goood, and one way to be the action hero you always wanted to be. +1

Most nades don't do anything for more than one tile out... Other than that +1

Would you have to use "rest" specifically to initiate the whole falling grenade sequence, or would any downed corpse / body be able to absorb the grenades explosion?

I would imagine both xenos and humans abusing this is you just had to be on the ground to absorb the blast, because they'll just grab a corpse / downed person and immediately drag them on top of the grenade to prevent it from hurting everyone around them.
