I agree that's what the rule says, but I read it as "if he slides it must be legal; if he doesn't slide, he must run in a direction away from the play."

Again, this has been discussed many times, and no clarification from the FED (other than the one interp several years ago where R1 was "lesss than halfway" to second when he was hit by a throw.)
