May an 'outsider' presume that the reason Turbo Props can Power back, is because the air blast is always in front of the wing and thus any components that might stop debris?

My nephew who drives J41s tell sme that, on a Powerback, the one thing that you do not want to do is touch the brakes. Drop the thrust and wait until she stops, otherwise she will pretend that she has a tail wheel!
