B.A.S.E. jumpers aren't prone (having a tendency or inclination : being likely) to winds blowing them back into the structure from which they jumped.

They're one hell of a lot more prone to it than non BASE jumpers!

Okay, maybe "prone" is a bad word choice, but it's certainly an additional danger that BASE jumpers face which is not a problem with traditional skydiving. In that respect, it's a true statement.

Except the author did use the word prone and didn't compare it to skydiving. In that respect, it's a false statement.

Skydiving was #5 on the list, and BASE was #6. Therefore, by the time you're reading the BASE synopsis, you have already read the regular skydiving snippet, and have that as background info. Therefore, the BASE info *is* in comparison to skydiving.

So, what all the fuss seems to be about is the use of the word "prone". No big deal. He's a whuffo. We're used to whuffos describing our sport inadequately. It's expected. No one should be getting upset about this or taking it as a personal affront.

And the word "thankfully". And plenty of other things ...

I've always wanted to do shark cage diving and the zip-lines. They look like fun!
