What was the craziest Buster Keaton stunt?

For me, it's the house stunt. Keaton had a 6000 pound house coming down on him and he didn't even move an inch. The man had balls of steel.

The waterfall stunt was also pretty impressive. Stone Face was a fearless badass.

First one by far. Any number of things could have gone wrong and he'd be no more. The house one is a close second but if they had smart enough people setting up the stunt, it was more unlikely that he'd be hurt.

Amazing that he lived long enough that lung cancer killed him.

Of those you provided, the house or the train.

All of them were insane. Jackie Chan has made a career out of emulating Buster Keaton and that is no slight to Chan. Though he isn't known for it some of the stunts Charlie Chaplin pulled off are also more the pucker worthy when you look at them.

The 5th gif. The train from The General. Insane stunt. If he slips, it's over.
Love that movie.

The most physically impressive is the boulder stunt. Amazing strength, stamina, and agility. I'd like to see how he would have handled a Ninja Warrior course.

The house stunt. I have seen the footage of the set up of the stunt, and the other camera angle not used in the movie.
The house front is on a hinge and the house was lowered in place so Buster stood in the window frame when they raised the house front back in place, the footage is out there.
Before the take everyone on set was praying and when the take was called most looked away.
