The Runner is Out
8-7-Q. When a defensive player has the ball, or is about to catch a thrown ball, and the runner remains upright and crashes into the defensive player.
If the act is determined to be flagrant, the offender shall be ejected. An errant throw drawing the defense into the path of the runner is not interference.

Rattlehead. Nowhere in this rule that you are quoting does it say that a runner must slide. ASA, and most other organizations will not say that. Too many liability issues involved. What the runner can do is remain upright and avoid contact with the defensive person, OR, they can slide.
