Could be a number of things. Heres a couple of examples to get you started though:

1. Fuel pump taking a ****, no fuel no go.
2. Not getting enough spark, to much fuel no go.
3. Timing belt could have jumped.

Fuel, spark, timing. 3 main things to start, and keep a motor running. Also you could have ran out of air. (HA! before any smart *** says "you forgot air" )

How do you run OUT of air? 3/4 of the earth is air.

It could be the factory-set rev-limiter (I'll keep the duh comments to myself).

only like 17% of air at sea level is oxygen, and at 6800 RPM his air filter may be clogged or his intake track too restrictive to deliver enough to combust

Does the engine stall and die completely and he needs to turn the key to restart it, or it just dies for a second and then he gets power back? If the latter..............
