Unfortunately sometimes you need to make a Per roll to realize that's where the grenade ended up. And sometimes people are Mentally Stunned after finding out that's where the grenade ended up.

I saw a video a few months ago of a soldier clearly getting his first training with live grenades, he managed to bounce it right back to his feet. He was still processing this fact when the trainer body-slammed him into the trench behind where he was standing (clearly provided for just such an occasion).
