True, that! Though he could well have been hurt badly enough that he didn't stay up. Close up explosions can do a lot of damage. I've been around explosions, but always at a safe distance to avoid injury. He was IN the fireball of burning gases. Concussion, fragments of whatever caused the explosion, and the temperature of that fireball all could have done damage from minor to severe.
