This is a very good point. Unlike other sports - when you push you can be hurt badly, but ultimately learn from your mistake, proximity wingsuit is one-mistake-one-kill.

That's how motorcycle accidents were explained to me. It is perfectly fine until it isn't, because there is so little room for error that it can only be fine or a crash.

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.
