Automatic transmissions use a governor to trigger gear changes at a certain speed. Reverse works in the second speed range and when you go faster than the normal speed for second, the governor attempts to shift into third. Since there is no third reverse, it goes into neutral. This is designed to happen since most, if not all, power transferring gears are helical, the excessive speed and torque would pull the gears apart.

Check the fluid level. The pump intake might have been sucking air when the fluid sloshed forward.
