My only other ideas are clutch had overheated and not grabbing, or simply that the gears were not put fully home and as such not actually in gear. There are no other physical options I can see.
Just kinda curious as to why the clutch would not grab just because it is overheated? The 'teeth' of the clutch should still grab even though it is hot, unless they all have been melted or worn off - is that what you're getting at?

Or is there some sort of monitoring device the car that won't let the clutch hold if it gets too hot for safety purposes?
