They are basically grenades without shrapnel. A grenade produces a tiny explosion, which means heat, a wave of high pressure air, and very loud noise. These alone dissipate very quickly, meaning even if you’re just a few feet away you won’t be burned to death, blown to bits, or smooshed by air pressure to death from a grenade. What will kill you in a grenade is that they are designed to breakdown into tiny sharp fragments that fly out and hit you, basically shooting you with thousands of tiny bullets at once, so you’ll typically bleed to death.
A flash bang has all of that only it’s less powerful of an explosion and it’s design to not break into tiny bits.
So you still get this flash of light, a very loud sound, a large wave of air pressure that slams into you, the effect is magnified if your in a small room or hallway.
So again, assuming you’re a few feet away from the explosion, you’re not really going to get lethal injuries, you’re just going to be blinded, deafened, and seriously disoriented by the light/noise/air pressure wave. You’ll probably recover in a few minutes but you’ve probably been killed by soldiers long before that.
Of course, I’m not saying they are harmless, being very close to the explosion could still injure you severely and the wave of air can cause permanent hearing or body damage. Again, you’re probably already dead so tinnitus isn’t on your list of concerns at the moment.
