In youth ball a lot of times this rule is in effect. Runner has the choice of: sliding, going back or giving up. A poster in another thread says that with this rule in effect at a game they were in a runner lept over the catcher and landed safe on the plate.
Whats the call?

You can hurdle the outstretched arm of a fielder, but not the fielder himself.

A minor note. In Fed you can hurdle the fielder if he is lying flat on the ground.
