If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.
Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.
But if you’re a link in a ring chain, isn’t pulling just tightening it ?
Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water…?
There is a length at which the weight of the rope itself exceeds the force exerted to tighten the rope and not break it. So basically you can have a tight shirter rope, longer saggy rope, or you have 2 ropes.
In that case people would be dismembered, and then drown.

Oh shit, was that a shark?”teach the world to swim
Just look at this picture, all the water around the world. It is swimming already, isn’t it?
Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.
Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.
