"What if in this situation, the runner's helmet had fallen off (I know alot of leagues are requiring chinstraps, but lets assume for this example there is nothing to impede the helmet from coming off) and hits the ball or even trips up the fielder."
This happened at Wrigley Field in the mid to late 80's against the Dodgers. R1 and hit and run is on. R1 lost his helmet (I think it was Kirk Gibson) half way to 2nd and continued on to 3rd because the ground ball went through the right side and Ryno was covering 2nd. The ball hit the helmet and bounced toward 2nd, Ryno picked it up and threw R1 out at 3rd by 20 feet.
