Do wingsuit BASE jumpers ever use a reserve

So I got in an argument with another skydiver. He claims that in some cases, Wingsuit BASE jumpers will jump with two parachutes (a main and a reserve)
I have not heard or seen such a thing ever occurring.
Thoughts?

The parachute we use for base jumping IS a reserve.
