I'm sure they will make it pretty durable. A reasonable method of construction would be like a tire, with steel mesh under thick, tough rubber.

And it's corn starch, not corn flower, and water. About a 2:1 ratio.

American "corn starch" = British "cornflour". E.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch.

In many countries it's called "cornflour" or "corn flour".
