Damn, throwing a chain is scary s hit. About 4 months ago I threw a chain skip slowing up to a red light, I was weaving between a bus and a pick-up truck and all of the sudden my wheel locked up and I nearly shat myself. My chain actually snapped and gouged up my chain stay a little. It only seemed to last for a couple seconds before I stopped. Scariest part was being next to the bus. So glad I didn't crash.
