Didn't he hurt his arm during this scene too?
During the filming of Steamboat Bill, Jr. in 1928, crew members threatened to quit and begged Buster Keaton not to do this scene. The cameraman admitted to looking away while rolling.pic.twitter.com/4MxpFEHOJx

I read somewhere that to be sure he was standing in the exact right place for that shot they literally nailed his shoes to the ground.

Mind you, although less visually spectacular, sitting on the coupling rod of a moving steam locomotive in The General was probably more dangerous. Keaton, Lloyd and probably others now forgotten were more than hardcore.
