By TOO fast I assume you are asking why the glass breaks?

Cooling causes the molecules in the glass to loose energy. When hot the atoms are forced farther apart. As they cool they come closer together. This causes mechanical stress. If the difference in stress of adjacent areas becomes too great a fracture between the two areas occur.
