What are you as an umpire looking for in a play like this? Is the onus on the runner to avoid the trainwreck? What would you have to see to eject the runner?

Thanks
It all depends upon what the runner does.
What did the Runner do?
Did the runner lower his shoulders and drive the fielder into right field - ala taking out the defensive end with a trap block?
Did the runner make a hook slide into the fielders knees to injure him?
Did the runner make some other action that could be interpreted as a malicious act with an intent to potentially injure the player?

These are questions that need to be asked.
