Endless URL Shortening Redirection Loop

I wonder if its possible to use 10+ url shorteners in an endless loop of redirection. Can this be abused to cause increased latency to one of the shorteners across their network? I wonder.

All very good comments. It seems a LOT less likely to be able to do it than I originally thought.

Many will notice if a shortened url goes to another shortener and give a 'security notice'.

I don't think any modern browsers will redirect indefinitely.
