Routine Maintenance

A technician climbs alone into a wind turbine for a routine repair. His two colleagues wait at the foot of the tower. An hour later, without a single call from him, they phone for help: they know he is dead. He did not fall, nothing fell on him, and nobody else went up. How is that possible?

Where do you start?
