There was a movie where Buster was caught in a hurricane (Steamboat Bill Jr.) and at one point the facade of a house falls around Buster missing him by mere inches (he is standing just exactly under a window) and an inch or two one way or the other, he would have been crushed like a bug.
That was Buster in that stunt. No doubles. Pure commitment.
