Video: The world’s first mid-air wingsuit high-five

[media=perform][/media]

This is the world's first mid-air high five in a super high-speed wingsuit flight.

The stunt comes from Project: BASE, who perform stunts to raise money for charity - or, as they put it, "human flights for human rights".

Wingsuit flier Nathan Jones dove off a cliff before piloting his way at high speed just above the rocky surface to complete the high-five.

This is fast. While it's not clear what speed Jones struck his target at, an average wingsuit speed is about 160kph (100 mph), without wind. But even a very slow flight will exceed 60kph.

Of course, it has the obligatory dubstep, too. Check out the full video below:

The video is dedicated to wingsuit diver Alex Duncan, who - in a reminder that these extreme sports can still be dangerous - died in September in a wingsuit accident in the Swiss Alps.
