A skydiving rig has two things that a BASE rig doesn't:
1.) a reserve
2.) the stamp of approval from the FAA
A BASE rig has two significant factors that make it better:
1.) simplicity
2.) no stamp of approval from the FAA
-C.
A Base rig is designed to open fast at low airspeeds.
A Sky rig is designed to open slow at fast airspeeds.
(YMMV in Norway)
Generally, a skydive rig has an asshole attached to it; with a BASE rig that's only an option.
