If you have an extra chain, I assume you know how to fit a new one into your bike. Do it. If not, call a tow truck. Calling a friend is exciting too. I’ll tell you why in a moment.
This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.
You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.

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:
Yes, lock it up.
First, relax.
Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.
Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.
Scenario 1:
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.
Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.

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.
In this case:
The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.
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.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.
This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.
Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.
