  1. It’s a combination of things.

    The limit screws may have been set improperly, allowing the chain to skip off the cogs and get jammed in the spokes.

    A stick or something could have hit the derailleur cage and shoved it into the spokes, causing the spokes to yank the derailleur off the bike.

    A missing dork disc may have prevented this. That’s what they’re for.

  2. In all seriousness, it looks like it jumped the last sprocket into the space between rim and cassette and then a whole lot of failures happened where the derailleur was pulled and got stuck between chain and cassette pulling it further then effectively braking it

    Derrailler arm caught a spoke which tore it off and jammed it into your frame until the chain tension stopped it.

  4. The derailleur cage got caught in the spokes. Either because the derailleur’s low stop was not set correctly, or because the derailleur hanger was bent.

    This is rather common failure.

    You got the beans above the frank. (Your low gear stop was set wrong, or your derailleur or hanger was bent, and it caught on a spoke and get destroyed.)

    Sorry. Time for some real talk. This is neglect. You count on your bike to keep you safe on your commute. Your bike should count on you to keep the chain and drivetrain parts lubed and not rusted to avoid dangerous situations like these. Imagine if your rear wheel locked up going down a hill in heavy traffic.
