To me at least it seemed that in the original RO the blast from grenades seemed to invisibly penetrate players and be able to kill multiple players when a real grenades effectiveness may have been smothered by the bodies of men in front of it. Of course this may have been due to the fact the players immediately turned to ragdolls and may be hard or impossible to change even with the new engine RS will use.
But if it were possible then not only would mean that you could be saved by an unlucky player taking a blast that may have killed you (thus increasing the possibility of successful attacks) it would also allow selfless players to sacrifice themselves in order to keep a lot of other players alive by throwing themselves on a grenade in replication of an act that won many men (on the American side at least) the Medal of Honor, though more often than not posthumously.
Of course, I can imagine some pretty ridiculous scenarios when a whole bunch of players end up blowing themselves up all trying to save each other as well as numerous other mishaps that only online play can provide.
