The source for this article is a paper published in Nature.[0] Unlike the NG article, the Nature paper and the associated Youtube video[1] by Nature contain graphics of a simulation that illustrates what seems to be the idea behind the paper: the incident may have been caused by an avalanche of minute proportions - even a human-sized lump of hard snow is massive enough to break bones, and it would have melted away before the tent was discovered.
