We just saw a pic of a tank in that same scenario here the
other night.
It's weight just crumbled the bank and let it slide in,
wonder if the height of the Stryker had any thing to do with this.

Can't tell. Someone with vehicle stats, help us out.
I would think more along the lines of soil conditions, then anything else. Even the Hummers do the slide with this sugar sand.

No Sarge, engineers have been warning the Army for a year that the top heavy nature of this vehicle would cause it to roll over on any angle more severe than 30 degrees. That's all it too to kill the young men.
