emaxos:
Carefully reread this rule:
"Any baserunner is out when she does not slide or attempt to get around a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make the tag on her."
This is what we mean when we say they must avoid a collision. There is no requirement to slide. Don't get that confused. They must only avoid a collision, though of course, sliding is an option in fulfilling this rule!
No organization, in its right mind, will ever pass a rule that requires a runner to slide. Our society is too eager to sue at the drop of a hat.
