The Ex. play 1-1 discusses B1 beating out a infield hit and missing the bag. "F3 takes the throw and "casually steps on first." Ruling: In FED, since the defense was making a "force" play" as a result of continuing action," B1 is out."
Carl then states that, "It's likely the FED ruling will be modified."

Lets see they did away with the accidental appeal yet this play cetainly seems accidental. Hope I never see this in a Fed. Game. As Ricky says it would be hard to "splain".
