I doubt it. The pressure is to high.

..if you were to fold the hose over like a garden hose to kink it,

I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with a freeflow due to freeze up just the same. If the pressure were so high that I couldn't crimp the hose, then that hose would have to be almost rigid from the pressure. When my reg hose is pressurized, it's still pliable and I'm able to bend and twist it around in my hands. If the pressure is low enough for me to do that, I don't see why I couldn't force the hose into a crimp with my hands to stop or at least dramatically slow the freeflow.
I'd go try it out by pressing the purge on my setup and trying to crimp the hose, but I'm not dying to pinch my reg hose...that can't be good for it...maybe the next time I dive with someone with a rental, I do a little experiment.
