It only looks like the wave function collapses if you fail to take into account that the ones doing the experiment are quantum mechanical as well.
If you could run an experiment where you account for the interaction between the apparatus and the observer, a meta experiment if you will, you would not see the wave function collapse that the observer thinks they observed.
