I just gave a rule that is all. What you choose to do after that is up to you. I am not like some people insistent on what you should do. There are rules in plays that back up your actions if you need it. What you do after that is really up to you. DR1973 asked for a rule, I provided one for him. There are always exceptions to rules or personal common sense that can influence what you actually do on the field. I think the kind of injury would influence the reaction and umpire makes. I personally never had anyone get hurt more than a broken leg (just happen last week). Even when the player did that, it was not clear to us there was such a serious injury. It was only clear after play had stopped that this outfielder was really hurt.
Look at 5.2.1 SITUATION D for another example of what the NF wants.
Peace
