Minor hell. Explosions at that range, even when they're relatively "small", can cause a huge amount of damage to an unprotected person when they're that close. The shockwaves alone would've caused a lot of injury to her internal organs.
Take Gundam 00 for example--in season 1, when Ali finished off the Dynames, the internal explosion in the cockpit seriously messed Lockon up, and in the novelization, it was revealed that the explosion had pulverized his innards. Even if Ali hadn't shot the cannon he was standing on, Lockon would've died. He was a dead man walking, and Stella was in the same boat.
