No, you can't do it that way, unless the net is being restrained at all 4 corners by some sort of adjusting force (like say, really tight bungee cords) every time you cut one link the net will go slack and cutting further will mean catching it stretching it and then sawing at it, and you'll need to cut ten or so links to have enough space for a person to get free; If the net is over a person correctly there is no way to restrain it like that without getting out from under it in the normal 'takes a long time' method.
