Well, Gilford was almost out of the 'bubble' Freya created. It's likely that at the borders of the bubble Freya didn't hit as hard as at its centre in fact they showed there were people who died but whose body was found (Nina was staring at them as they were put into bags). Considering he was at the borders and inside a Knightmares and that he might have ejected, using the ejection as a way to further distance himself from Freya it's possible he distanced himself enough from it to survive even if he underwent some damage.
... even if i wish Sunrise would avoid doing this sort of thing... even if I'm glad he's alive... now, Sunrise is there any chance you're going to tell us Rolo didn't die but fainted and Lelouch buried a fake just to make us think Rolo's dead?
