To put it bluntly, getting your finger caught between the sprocket or ring and the moving chain can chop off your finger.

If you want to try to derail the chain while pedaling the bike in a stand then use a screwdriver to lift the chain.

Safety is no accident!
I prefer to check mine while the chain is moving, but only visually.
