can you even put your car into reverse doing 60km/h? I've never tried it...

OP stated that he put the car into reverse while doing 60. The post doesn't tell us anything else. You do have a great question. Its something I have never tried on purpose or by mistake?

So I put it into reverse because I do not drive automatic and I forgot the gears. I just wanted to shift down. Than I added gas and the car did not respond. The tranny never engaged the wheels. It works perfect for now...?

If its working perfect as you say... then let it go and count your blessings.

It did not engage at al
l Is there some safety mechanism involved or should I tow it tomorrow to the mechanic for check up?
