Does the 57-2 require wheel spin up for ground spoiler deployment? If the runway was iced the wheels may have just been skating without rotating enough to activate the boards. That, coupled with a late/botched reverser activation may explain what happened. Was there a slight tailwind also?

Probably a series events, failures, etc just like every other incident.
