know it is a delayed dead ball.... but does that constitute the runner being out?

And can you give me the rule reference??? All I find is delayed dead ball, which says nothing about the runner being out (I don't think).'

Thanks

Check out Case play 1.1.5H
B4 receives a walk (not intentional). On his way to first base he removes his helmet to give it to the on-deck batter.

RULING:
This is a delayed dead-ball situation. At the end of playing action, B4 is not declared out . If a team warning previously had been given to that team, B4 would be ejected.
