Don't know about FED, but the LL rule is that the runner "must slide or attempt to go around".

My question on this is, does "go around" include up? I.e. can a runner legally jump over the catcher/fielder? I say yes as I believe that the intent of the rule is to prevent malicious collisions intended to jar the ball loose, but some of the other umpires in our league say no. I would be interested in the forum's opinions on this.
