Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.
Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.
I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.
Room for 2? Maybe. Buoyancy for 2? No.
There is a Mythbusters episode on this. Rose literally and figuratively fucked Jack.

I don’t recall the full episode but a few things stood out.

“Climb on the door” seems like something within their knowledge and abilities.

Did they watch the Mythbusters episode?
Rose and Jack? Probably not.
So you’d think she would have tried to get him on the door. What with him being her one true love and all.
And he probably would have said “no, I want you to live” her being his one true love and all.
It would somewhat undermine the core of their narrative being a tragedy within a larger tragedy though.
I mean there were other ways of doing that without making it look like she just didn’t let him on the door.
