I think this is one of those "you know it when you see it" type situations.
If I have a collision between two outfielders that causes them to knock heads and go down out cold, I'm more concerned at that point with getting the players taken care of than where to place runners.
I think that most people can tell the difference between a serious and minor injury without being a doctor. If in doubt, I have always erred on the side of caution and stopped play. If the oppposing coach gripes, I tell him that I will do the same for his/her players, end of conversation.
Most coaches that I have come across in youth SB in injury situations were more concerned with getting the kid taken care of no matter which team she was on.
Tom, I certainly see your point about the can-o-worms, but this is one of those situations that requires guidelines more that hard and fast rules.
