Hypothetical WSOP Satellite Question

In theory, when the short stack goes all in, shouldn't everyone call and check it down? Altruistic maybe, but all else being equal 8 out of 9 times the guy is busted, and 1 in 9 he is then the chip leader, but you are all still playing.

It would also be interesting to make a deal. If everyone put up 1k, you all still go, sans the spending money, and he gets a serious cash prize, and is almost there as well.

But also in theory, if I am the guy with 50K then I am not giving away my 1K since I currently have the biggest stack and can probably fold in to the seat.
