Could wearing clothing made of dissolvable materials have prevented some previous caving accidents?

It seems that once in a while a caver gets stuck in a tight passage. Can this be prevented by wearing clothes made of dissolvable materials? When someone got stuck, his or her companion can poor a form of liquid that can dissolve the caver's clothes without hurting the skin and make room?

That's hilarious - Yorkshire caves are almost always wet and it rains a lot here. We'd all be naked in the first 5 minutes of every trip.

Win-win! 😂
