Similar to that of a military press to the front; except a push press involves leg drive.

Much more explosive. And one of my favorite lifts

Won't that make you unstable , like falling backwards on the way up.

not at all. but you will have to train your core (abs, low back and obliques) as you get stronger on the lift to stablize you.
