If sucked in he would most likely drown but I suspect they have some sort of screen to block large items (like tree branches or stray animals) from actually reaching the turbines

Yeah, funnily enough they're called "trash screens," and they are part of those towers you see jutting up through the water on either side of the dam's center line on the deep side.

Maybe they should have been called "eurotrash screens."
