Needless to say, he was damn lucky.
Apparently it was not the full-on Winter alpine hiking sneaker designed by Post Hole Sports!

Sometimes I wonder if Mt. Washington laughs to itself every now and then.

In his defense, they worked fine in the mountains of Kentucky 
As usual the reports do not have enough details, was he wearing the Chuck Taylor high tops or the low tops?
These have the reputation of being pretty heavy.

Could have been worse. https://gifdb.com/images/high/high-heels-hiking-mountain-hx9oskn3h8yfkz5q.gif
By the way during Spring Season at Tucks later on when the trail up to Hermit is still covered with solid snow I have worn my low cut trail runners with microspikes. I used to use that for a training hike to get back into shape for section hikes on the AT down south.
That time of year the trail might as well be paved with all the foot traffic. A bit different above tree line on the Summit Cone in March in most years.

He might've benefited from using spikes, as you have referenced.
