When you misjudge your sink rate during landing and think the airplane is descending too fast, you have a natural reaction to sharply increase pitch attitude. If you make this mistake (and we all have at some point), you'll not only stop your descent, you'll actually initiate a climb during your flare.

This is called ballooning. It's hazardous, because your height above the ground increases as your airplane approaches a stalled condition (increasing AOA and depleting speed). The severity of a balloon depends on your airspeed and how quickly pitch attitude is increased.
