Stunts

How did they do some of the stunts? The ones I'm curious about are:

Buster 'parachuting' off the cliff.

Buster running, falling down the steep hill and then sliding, finally flying into a tree.

Buster crossing that canyon on a decrepit rope bridge and then jumping into the water below.

They were amazing stunts!

The parachuting I particularly wondered about. It looked like a dummy flung off the cliff, but then the blanket opened into a parachute--no dummy can pull off such a feat!
