It would take more than "small" bombs to kill Battler. Need a regular sized, World War II vintage, iron bomb, that is still live, but didn't explode previously...to be on the island. Since the mansion was built after the war, there is the chance one still exists. Those islands were along the main bomber flight path from say Saipan to Tokyo...and Iwo Jima is down the chain somewhere from this Island. It could also be an old Japanese bomb if they use to run drills in this area. But that is beyond my knowledge.
