1-The Grimm did not simply eat Roman, it swallowed him outright. So he was still alive when it happened. Since the Grimm don't even need to eat or shit, it's possible they don't even digest the things they eat, and even if they did, that still gives Roman some time.

2-Since Roman was inside the Grimm, said Grimm protected him from the impact and the subsequent explosion and crash, so he didn't suffer as much damage as he would've suffered otherwise.

Combined, Roman does have chances to survive, even if not particularly high.
