When smoking marijuana, a person can take a hit too deep, which burns the back of their throat. They then hold their chin against their chest, thus holding the burning sensation down. Eventually this sensation seems to "burn itself out," like a real fire deprived of oxygen. However, also similar to real fire, when you raise your head and open a passage for air, the burning "flares up," like real backdraft.
Since it's mainly visual, see the movie "Backdraft" for a good example of real backdraft, then imagine inhaling that.

a sexual act where the man lights his fart and uses the flame to set the woman's pubic hair on fire then uses his skeet or piss to put out the fire.

During a tantrum: the dreadful pause that follows a baby's initial scream, as it sucks back more air, to release, an even louder, longer, more ear piercing shriek.
I was just settling into my seat on the plane, when a disgruntled baby nearby let loose with a blood curdling wail. Then came the baby backdraft. It took in a huge gulp of air. I sat helplessly in that half second of calm, waiting for the deafening howl to fill the cabin.
