IIRC there's been one survived wingsuit "landing" on a slope with only the pilot chute out.

YDNRC.

Seems like there was more than PC out, but not much.

Found this from DZ.com forum:

still, the ultimate wingsuit low pull award belongs to Den. He nearly landed a wingsuit a couple of years ago, impacting at line stretch with his slider still stowed in a C-line rubberband. If you have a chance, ask Den to show an impressive Terminator-style x-ray of his titanium lower back.

There should be more about this incident if someone has time to search.

Yea, the thing is he was not trying to land the wingsuit. He just was stupid. He pulled low and got lucky to live with what he had out. There have been many of these same kind of incidents without a wingsuit where people got lucky and lived with less than a good parachute over their head. That doesn't mean you should try a land without a parachute.
