Loudest High-Five
Craig Morrison and Sam Stilson of The Record Collection made a high-five that measured 87.1 decibels. The duo experimented with a variety of lubricants, including peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, to see which liquid would result in the loudest slap. Things got messy. Behold:
Most High-Fives In One Minute
The impeccably coiffed Loic Cremer and Bastien Cremer slapped 268 one-handed high-fives in one minute.
Most High-Fives From A Dog In 30 Seconds
Kyle Mills received 15 high-fives from his dog, Baxter, in 30 seconds. The feat was not without some (gentle) coercion.
Longest High-Five
Athletic scamps Ben Jenkins and Kia McNeely ran towards each other for a combined distance of 6.44 kilometers (4.0 miles) before slapping a high-five. They kept their high-fiving hands raised in the air for the duration of the feat.
Longest Sky-Five
Both dressed as Elvis in his declining years, Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young jumped directly at each other from a distance of 13 feet and completed a high five before landing.
