It's a fun event on the track, however I don't know how safe it would be on road bikes. I would suggest looking up elimination races on youtube to get a sense how these races go.
During my running days, we called these types of races "Devil Takes the Hindmost". We also had a rule (in order to make it more competitive for everyone) that if you were more than 100m in front of the last runner you were eliminated.
