BASE jumping is already an incredibly dangerous activity, but Nathan Jones decided he still needed to take things up a notch. 

Jones put on a wingsuit and jumped from a cliff in the French Alps. The suit allowed him to fly closer and closer to the ground, close enough, in fact, to high five a guy standing on the ground.

While the stunt certainly seems reckless, it was all for a good cause. Jones was helping to raise awareness for a project that brings clean drinking water to Ethiopia.
