Lost & The Dark Knight [grenades?]
Best two things ever invented in the history of EVER, I know, but my question is actually about grenades. For any of you familiar with the series and film, or for people with grenade experience, there are parts in both where people pull the trigger on hand grenades and then either put it in another person's hands or mouth. Basically, the person holding it has to press down on it so it won't blow up. How the hell does that work out? I mean, how do they get rid of the grenade later without it blowing up in their face? This has been bugging me for weeks, months actually, so I'd appreciate your feedback.

Pretty much as said below. If the arming lever isn't released, the grenade doesn't explode. The pin hole exists and almost anything that will fit in there would work. All grenades are designed to explode after several seconds, so in a worst case scenario you could throw the grenade somewhere and take cover.

Look at this picture:

The metal ring is attached to a pin. The pin is holding the lever down. Once the lever is released, the fuse is lit and the grenade will explode within seconds.
Nothing is stopping you from putting the pin back into the grenade. You could even use a large needle, bobby pin, or stick. They don't do that in fiction, though, because that would be boring.
