Anybody know why they use this procedure. I thought this procedure is
banned
due to ground deaths.

I haven't heard anything about "ground deaths". The main disadvantages of a
reverse-thrust pushback include wear and tear on the terminal building, and
the risk of foreign object damage as debris on the ramp is blown around and
forward of the engine intakes.
