Letter of the law, the runner is out. I just have a tough time rewarding the defense for something that was caused by their breaking of a rule.

How did the defense cause the runner to pass the base?
Even if the player went into a slide that may not have occurred had there been no obstruction, the runner is still responsible to know how to slide properly and keep contact with a base.
So, now you are rewarding the offense for a runner being incapable of performing a controlled slide.
