What happens is this -- the ESC shorts the windings of the motor, and forces the motor to start acting like a generator. Remember that a turning motor generates a specific voltage -- back EMF. This voltage is actually the voltage induced in the windings by the moving magnets.

My English isn't very good, and the translator is even worse. But doesn't shorting means connecting + and - together? But, that can't be possible, there should be a fire then, right? So what does shorting actually means?
Thank you,
