Default gearbox somehow changed from 1st to reverse at 60kmph

anyone else have that problem lol?

coming into a street, geared down to 1st, entered street (made sure i was straightend, floored it to 60kmph(60zone), gearbox went from 1st gear straight into reverse once i hit 60kmph. feeling sideways, i floored it more, little did i know i was in reverse and it was wheel spinning in reverse.. i was either going to hit the car turning into the street on the other end, or i was gonna hit the gutter.. so it was the gutter and now the rim is screwed probably buckeld cause i hit it sideways... :(... inspected the site, 2 black marks about 10 metres, straight for the gutter.

basically during when i was wheel spinning in reverse, rear end was goin side ways (and in forward motion, car momentum slowed down and i was like wtf mate so instinct was to back off, then it started axle hopping lol)

anyone else experienced this mystery?
