Read the rule again. Then compare it to your statement that if the runner doesn't veer he
MUST slide.
FED 8-4-2 Any runner is out when he:
(b) does not legally slide and causes ilegal contact and/or
illegally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of of making a play....
2. Runners are
never required to slide.....
