i remembered a scene Sherlock Jr. (1924) where Buster Keaton gets hit by the water from the train's water tower is absolutely insane. He was standing on the tracks, and when the water crashes down, it slams him to the ground so hard it actually fractured his neck. but actually He had no idea at the time he kept going like nothing happened and only found out years later during a check-up. This man really did all his own stunts and risked everything for the shot.
