Its safer than regular base jumping provided you don't try to strafe tree and hilltops and cliffsides. These jumpers are trying to do ever riskier stunts all for the clicks.
It's an addictive feeling, and it can trick you, because you know it's dangerous but you're always come out of it fine, great even, until you don't.
That was for motorcycles where accidents are survivable and things are much more in your control.
For low wingsuit flying those last two points are both questionable.

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.
