If you allow a player to continue with 5 fouls and his 6th foul causes an injury, you have just given a litigeous society ammunition in the all to likely suit against you.

Unless the league specifically has such a provision, I'm not permitting it in any game I do.

As Smity was refereing to, how does this compare with other rules we let slide. I say it doesn't. Scorebook rules, a little slide of the pivot foot (even 2-3 extra steps in some cases), 5 seconds in the lane, 12 to get it across half court, etc. don't involve contact and can't be construed as having a potentially dangerous result.
