Sliding Head First Into Home Plate

Question?

Dave from New Mexico asks:

Is there a rule that prevents a player from sliding in head first to home plate?

There is no rule in Major League Baseball preventing a head first slide into home plate. However, in many lower and youth leagues a rule preventing this may be adopted in order to protect the runner's safety.
