Rev Limiter Indicator

This might be a stupied question, but..

I was driving last night and I hit the redline with the indicator on, but i forgot to shift so I guess the fuel cutoff went it and I started to slow down but I shift into another gear quickly and resume driving regularly.

I was wondering does this do any damages to the car or something.. Please serious I know there will be some people saying some crazy stuff.

Not another rev limiter question. This is the whole point of the rev limiter, so that you do not damage your motor. You will damage it if you downshift and it goes up to 9k+ RPMs. Please use the search feature and this is explicitly covered in the owner's manual.
