We have to apply common sense, and 9.01(c) if necessary. The purpose of breakaway bags is to prevent breakaway legs. So after one breaks away we have to assume it is still there and play on as if it is. And if the runner going to 3B slides past 3B because the bag broke loose then we have to protect him from being tagged, because if it had not broken loose he may have broken a leg, ie back to the purpose of the breakaway bag. And if after breaking the bag loose he heads home, but returns to the vicinity of where the bag was before it broke loose then he is safe.
