[Base Wingsuiting] is safer than regular base jumping provided you don't try to strafe tree and hilltops and cliffsides Safer because a wingsuit can allow you to track much further away from the cliff you've just jumped off, which means that a typical deployment issue - where the parachute opens off-heading, therefore inducing a turn - doesn't immediately steer you back into that cliff. A wingsuit can give you freer air for deployment, which increases the margin for error, but wingsuit BASE seems to be aimed at proximity flying.
