It depends on your GMing style and on the specific situation. Here's the way, I do it:
If a character kneels, and the grenade explodes in front of him, I would treat a hit to the abdomen as miss. If the grenade explodes behind the character, I would treat hits to the legs as miss. If the grenade explodes on the side of the character, all body parts could be hit (Handled like a "side shot".).
It really depends a lot on the surroundings. If the character sits/kneels behind a small wall or in a ditch, you can just as well say: The lower parts of the body are not going to be hit by fragments.
The rules leave a lot of freedom to the GM. My way may not even be "correct", but I think, it works on most occasions.
