I've seen it a few times and what has happened then is that a boat comes in close to have a look where to go then realise they are to close, swing the rudder over to go out and the rudder catches the chain and the boat is now stuck with the chain between the keel and the rudder.
Easiest way to get it off is to lower the chain.
