I was responding to the slight variation where the throw pulled F2 into the runners path and they collided (non-maliciously). That would (generally) be a train wreck in OBR, and would often (but not always) be OBS in FED.

I agree that as described in the OP, F1 was guilty of OBS, and that would be the same in all codes, and that I "like" this portion of the rule.
