True but as Charco says that is indeed a rare occurence.
Indeed
FootJam in the backwheel bmx stylee, safest option in that situation, I've had 2 chains snap on me in the last 8 months, one of them endured a whole winter of abuse and shit on the roads though, and the other was just a cheap shitty chain, that I shouldn't have bought, both times I managed to stop safely without incident.
Although i'll probably spend out on a decent track chain soon, when funds allow, maybe a nice izumi or something, and then actually bother to clean it when it gets covered in crap from bad weather.
