Is it because the plane will mostly hit nose first on the ground?
Has it ever been a case where people in front died/suffered injuries and the people in the back were fine? Is the back sturdier because it needs to withstand the force of the tail elevators?

I actually had the opportunity to casually ask this question to a NTSB guy who was consulting with us. His equally casual answer was “No plane has ever reversed into a mountain”. Of course I’m sure there are an infinite amount of variables, but his answer was the very broad gist of it.
