    I dunno if he was known for it or not, but Chaplin did this sort of thing too. There’s a roller skating clip of him “almost falling” a couple floors in this compilation (2nd clip)

      That was a matte painting, there was no actual stunt there, just camera tricks.

      That same video has a clip of Buster Keaton riding a motorcycle over a collapsing bridge. The part with the trucks was camera tricks. The part with the bridge falling was a real stunt.
