I don't think the situation allows for it, typically the guy running to second is also getting thrown out so, by definition, he hasn't reached 2nd base yet. And they typically slide so as to take out their legs. Not to mention that the guy is turning to throw and its perfectly legal for the 2B to bean him in the face with the ball if he's not in the base path. Its in the runner's best interest to slide to make that play, and gets him there faster.
