Wow, that looks like so much fun. This may sound dumb, but coming from a guy who only wore a 'chute with the intention of never having to use it (hopefully), here goes...
If your main and standby chutes fail, and you're wing suited, I'd assume you're in a better situation than non-wing suit... can you slow your descent/flare before touchdown enough to survive the drop?

My slowest in my suit is about 38mph downward. That's probably not survivable. If I had a bigger suit I could slow down to the low 30s. Still, not going to live through that.

The vid above is impressive, but I still consider it cheating since in real life emergency scenarios (where your main and backup chutes fail) you won't have a pile of spongy boxes to save you.
