That is an out at time of contact, no sub. runner.
Which rule are you applying that says this is an out?
That is an out at time of contact, no sub. runner.
So if the runner (or 1B coach) sees the umpire signal obstruction, then wouldn't it be the smart move for the runner to continue to 2B?
So... if the runner is safe at 1st, rounds 1st, intentionally blows up the first baseman and get booted for UC:
Is the runner out at first?
Can they enter a sub to take her place on base?
If no sub is the runner then out?

I am missing something.
Just an update. I got a chance to speak to the ump (with my new found knowledge - thanks). He did seem confused about the rules as he quoted me this:
Rule 8 - Section 7 - Q states - When the defensive player has the ball and the runner remains upright and crashes into the defensive player - EFFECT - The ball is dead the runner is out. If flagrant the offender will be ejected.
