Even in LL 9.09(c) is hardly ever needed.

LL safety is pretty much already in the rules.

The key ones are

Slide/Avoid - out by rule
Fake tag = obstruction - again covered by rule

And the "Don't do thats" which are covered by 9.01(b).
Catcher's gear
Full coverage helmets by all offensive players & player coaches
No on deck batter
Jewelry

And unsportsmanlike (intentional bat or equipment throws, malicious contact, etc.) which is covered by 9.01(d).

Andy Konyer has stated that bat waving is OK.

The congress voted down a rule against fake bunt & then hit.

That leaves accidental bat throwing. The LL umpire school says use 9.01(c) here, warn first. With the automatic next game suspension going into effect in 2002, you will really need to use caution on this one. It really isn't a crime worth making the kid miss the next game too.
