No, this had nothing to do with CWD. It's a crop damage program.

As for the incident, this is another way I look at safety harnesses: You would wear a safety harness if you were working on the side of a sky-scraper because a 400 foot fall could kill you. You should also wear a safety harness when working on the side of tree because a 20 foot fall could kill you too. Theremay be very little difference so why wear a harness in one situation and not the other?
