			FED rule 8-4-2b2. 
 
"Runners are never required to slide, but if a  runner elects to slide, the slide must be legal.  Jumping, hurdling, and leaping are all legal attempts to avoid a fielder as long as the fielder is lying on the ground.  Diving over a fielder is illegal." 
 
The way I interpret this, the hurdling has to be over the top of a fielder not lying on the ground for it to be illegal.
