What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
Don’t ride a heavy bike.
You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.

Don’t try to squeeze the clutch either, nothing you can do about it. So don’t even try to change gears, but I do understand that sometimes it’s a force of habit.
Scenario 1:
Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.

What’s the practice?
Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.
The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.
Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.
Did that catch you by surprise?

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.

And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.
And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.
Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.

So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.
On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.

In this case:
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

Relax.
I remember doing this once with my friend. The exact same thing happened to him. His drive chain just snapped and quit, and his rear wheel locked up.
Now, do the skids as many times as you can. Make skid marks, and do a full cornering drift. Anything, really, and just have fun with it.
Scenario 2:
Remember that tip on calling a friend?
Yes, lock it up.
