And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.
Relax.

The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.

Two scenarios could happen here.
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

Yes, lock it up.
Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.
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.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.
Did that catch you by surprise?
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.
What’s the practice?
Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.

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.
The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
Remember that tip on calling a friend?
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.
Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.
