They DON'T explode when you pull the pin. There are three safeties on a grenade: the safety clip, the pin and the handle. The pin is the second safety you release.
When all three safeties have been released, there's a little plunger under the handle that ignites a delaying charge. When the charge burns down to the end of the fuze, it ignites a primer that causes the grenade's filler to explode.

Do grenades explode?
Yes, grenades can explode. This is their nature. To do so, however, they typically require the detonator to be installed, and the "spoon" to be "charged." To accomplish this, one must pull the pin. You've likely seen it done in movies. The Sgt. Rock character, one foot high on the front lip of the trench, takes the ring of the pin in his teeth, holds the grenade high, releases the handle (charges the spoon) with a delicate chime, and throws the grenade at the enemy. It is pretty much the same in real life, with the exception of standing out of cover, and the whole pulling the pin with your teeth thing. And, once the spoon has been charged, you have about three seconds to get rid of it.
