I personally dont think the error was on your part at all. The one thing you shouldnt do when driving is reversing without making sure there are no others that you could affect. He didnt see you, that was his error, yes you could of slowed once you had seen him and like you say next time you will . You cant really prevent this happening again because you will always get people who dont look properly before they reverse. This is of course only my own humble opinion
