Embryos are more durable and do not have differentiated tissues. They’re just clumps of stem cells. Adult humans have differentiated body tissues.

Another reason is that embryos are very small and will freeze so fast that the water in their undifferentiated cells does not have time to crystallize.

Adult humans have too much thermal mass, and will have ice crystals form everywhere. That destroys the cells and tissues.
