I'm sure that it can be done.

How safely and efficiently is a completely other matter..

I imagine that braiding it would be the method of choice. Thats what I'd do if faced with no other choice to stay alive.

However, chafing, stretchyness, and a plethera of other issues would be an issue. ( the length of drop, etc, etc..)

I would be interested to see what tests done by a technical expert would reveal.
