Why would a person explode if they were exposed to space without a space suit?

It doesn't. That's a rumor, that's been proven not true. In space the only thing that happens is your lungs will collapse, because it is a vacuum.
Correction: Actually your lungs will expand and rupture, any exposed moisture (eyes, mouth, etc) instantly boils away, the moisture in your muscles and other soft tissues evaporates (which will causes bloating, but not explosion, which is most likely where the exploding myth came from), nitrogen in your lungs will bubble and cause the bends, and finally you blood will begin to boil.
Quite a few things happen, but no explosions.
