Now to my knowledge the only rules regarding equipment intefering with the ball use language regarding "intentionally placed" or something else to that nature.

Interference. The runner is responsible for keeping his helmet on his head, IMO.

Rules reference, please.

Like I said, IMO, which makes the rule reference 9.01(c). Why are so many here reluctant to rule on something that is not covered by the rules? That's what 9.01(c) is for?
