The lowest gear is the largest cog in the back, so if the chain went off there it would go into the wheel, not the frame. Is it coming off the largest rear cog or the smallest, or off the front? The pressure of your feet should not make a difference. How old is the bike and when did the problem start - any accident or maintenance just before then?
