I can't understand the "failed due to the weight of ice/snow" part as both ice and snow weigh less than water.
If it is rated to hold water, it surely should hold ice/snow.
The only complication I can see there is if the ice were to be thick enough to be massive enough that expansion pushed against the walls sufficiently to shear the rivets.
In that case, I would suspect that it was "operator error".
