I brought this up in a Post "Cubs at Montreal". Today I looked this up in J/R. There are two exceptions where a base is a safe haven. When a runner is on base and gets hit by an infield fly and when a runner is on base and the fielder and the batted ball are in the immediate vicinity of the base. If you think about it what choice does the runner have but to stay on the base otherwise he's an easy out.
