			:{{Rebut}} Happiness Island, just like Liberty Island, has no police stations because it’s an island. There are no cars either because it’s an island. In order for a car to be there it has to be shipped by boat. Oddly, a Uranus, Faggio and Forklifts spawn on the island.

			{{Rebut}} It's probably because they have body armor and the game doesn't recognize that it's falling damage instead of bullet damage. I agree that it sucks that they survive though.
