Slipped a chain, luckly its vietnam so I only had to push the bike down 200 feet of highway and 1 intersection before I found a Honda shop. I’m lucky I wasn’t stranded in some mountains or offf-road.

Isn’t this caused by not replacing the chain often enough? It stretches a bit once worn and then can bear more towards the edges of the sprocket.
It’s caused by age and wear. Plenty of things can exacerbate said wear and cause you to replace sprockets sooner, but they are a consumable item and will need to be replaced occasionally no matter what.
Riding up mountains, over dirt, and constant acceleration and braking probably exacerbates things. It slipped while accelerating on a dirt shoulder to overtake a bus.
