Is the ball dead if a base runner losses his helmet while trying to advance or retreat?
What FED rule covers this situation?

Where does this stuff come from? (Billy, I don't blame you - yours is not the first question about this)
At the FED level, we are playing REAL baseball, not kiddy ball. If the helmet falls off (and I mean FALLS off), then play on. As soon as play ends, call time and allow the runner to retrieve his helmet.
As stated above, if the runner
intentionally removes his helmet in live ball territory, there is a rule to cover that.
Hey LL guys, this isn't a rule down there about this, is there?
