All the recent word that I've heard from the FAA is that that whole theory about ice "bridging" around the boots is total myth. In all their experiments they have never been able to make that happen, therefore I doubt that was the cause of this accident
I just saw that lovely NASA video during recurrent. According to that video, ice bridging IS a problem for older boots. Modern boots do not have this problem as they inflate at a much quicker rate.. Again, according to the NASA video.
