I used to work on the ramp at American about 15 years ago. Many times the 727s powered back from the gates using thrust reversers. As far as safety for the ground crew, it got quite windy and we wore goggles (like those in high scholl shop class) to keep the little pebbles and rocks from hitting us in our eyes.
