not really the safest thing to do, but in an emergency it should work.

use the emergency brake if you can and time lights and watch out for the unexpected.

Unless you can find a non rusted section that can be flattened then folded over you probably won't be able to hold much pressure. But a vice grip holding the end of a line can be fairly effective.
