How many active BASE Winguiters in the world

Hey everyone

I just said in an interview that I estimate between 3000 and 5000 active BASE Wingsuiters worldwide. After a second thought, I think this is much to many...

How many would you guess are there?

Just throwing around some numbers.

Lets say there are 25 active swiss wingsuit jumpers.
If i counted correctly we had 5 swiss wingsuit fatalities.
Factor = 5
Worldwide Wingsuit Fatalities = 131
131 x 5 = 655

i would say more than 25. Unless you have a different level to define active.
