The way it was put to me is that BASE jumper use only an emergency [reserve] chute. When people skydive they have a chute that is fast and fun to fly, but slightly marginal as far as deployment, then also carry a reserve, that almost can't fail, as a backup. When people BASE jump they use only the latter. Again, this is just how it was explained to me.
