Even though accepting an award while the ball is dead, the runner is required to run the bases legally. If he failed to touch 1B on his way to 2B, he is subject to being called out on a properly constituted appeal by the defense.
If he is incapacitated to the degree that he is unable (or unwilling) to "complete" his award, another player may be substituted for him - but that player must also advance "legally".
