...So a player that benefits from a non-deliberate handball is now considered handling?...
Also what published guidance introduced the concept of "taking a risk" (ie slide tackle) for non-deliberate handballs? I've never seen that interpretation published or mentioned by refs, certainly nary a mention of it in 6 pages of this thread. That seems like a really important concept for players and coaches to be aware of.
I agree that such things should be put in writing, but you can't write down every circumstance. This presentation was, evidently, for FIFA referees. I'm sure they have some pretty solid documentation and instructions for players and referees, including releasing these presentations.
Like MWN says above, the 'taking a risk' concept is really only appropriate at older and/or higher level of skill play, where you can expect a player to know how to go to ground without making themselves bigger.
At none of the games I'm usually assigned to would I consider the sliding situations to be intentional.
