Don't ride your bike?

Sorry, there are myriad reasons for a chain popping off. I don't know how anyone can solve this without looking at the bike, or not even knowing what kind of bike it is, or at least getting a better description than "randomly." Take it to a bike shop. A good mechanic should be able to diagnose the cause in minutes, and if your bike needs new parts like a chain or cogs, there's no getting around it. Spend a little money or learn a little about how a bicycle works.
