Hmmm,

Be very careful with this part of the rule:

"f. the runner, on a force play, does not slide on the ground and in a direct line between the two bases."

The NFHS has noted that a player may slide in a direction "not directly in a line" if that slide is away from the fielder.

So, using pretty good logic, a runner can run or slide AWAY from a fielder and be legal.
