I think it does make a lot more sense not to be completely immune from an explosion just because you're in a locker or whatnot.
Would be cool to see different "containers" you can be inside of offering different levels of explosion resistance, depending on what exactly the container is (though, I can imagine this could require more work, or something like a var for every large container with a default value.)
Just for the sake of it, rating a few containers I can think of fitting in with explosion ratings 1-5 (1 being least protective, 5 being a walking bunker):
Regular closet - 2 (Not great, but it's easy to find and easily buildable in seconds)
Secure closet (They're called closets, not lockers, right?) - 4 (The ones in security, that you have to bash open to get into. Maybe more of a 3, though.)
Pods (These are probably containers, right?) - 5 (You've got armor and everything, I don't think you're going to feel it yourself)
Disposal / mail chutes - 1 (You're covered on a few angles, but up overhead isn't safe still)
Etc / default value - 2
Of course that was fun, but I felt it was worth pointing out that there are different things you can fit inside while playing that intuitively (to me, at least) would offer varying levels of protection.
I think no matter what, though, explosions like a maxcap TTV should be able to do something to you, even a small fraction of the explosion power, when you're hiding in a metal closet or whatnot. It makes sense you'd come out mostly unharmed, but unscathed is weird.
