    Damaged Chain?

    The guy that threw the saw over the cliff was Jason Wilding. One of my best buds older brother. He also raced his '66 Beaumont from here to Vancouver(about 300 miles) for pinks once and lost and came home carless, stole a ambulance from the hospital emergency and tragically died in a paragliding...

    Damaged Chain?

    Further to what Marc-Antoine was saying a badly worn sprocket can cause a chain to kink up. Also the potential damage to drivers from a still spinning sprocket/spur when a chain throw occurs is a good reason to make a habit of immediately hitting the chain break whenever you do throw a chain.
