I don't think Chaplin was known for that kind of stunts, but Buster Keaton was. Like the classic clip where the front of a house collapses on him and he's standing right where the window falls.
Buster Keaton did a lot of this kind of thing with perspective and stuff, but he was also a badass who did some incredible stunts.
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.
