Default pop out of gear? wtf

Was doing about 80 in my eagle and all of a sudden the motor is screaming and bouncing off the limiter (thank god for limiters). I have no thrust and I look down and see that the drive has popped out of forward gear? It's only happened once, and didn't happen again, anyone have any ideas? Did i hit something? Boat ran fine rest of the day!

Were you wave jumping - drive came out of the water.
Under load the bravo drive can't come out of gear.
The more the load the harder the clutch drives into the gear.
