The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
Two scenarios could happen here.

How did you get to be a leftist?
Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.
Yes, lock it up.
Scenario 2:
Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?
Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.
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.

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.
Did that catch you by surprise?
