I don't know if it would physically cause that to happen, but it seems possible in my opinion, logically. If the chain skipped a tooth on the sprocket, or something like that, couldn't that cause the wheel to skip? One small loss in traction that's unrecoverable would become a much bigger loss of traction, right?

Who knows.....
