rug rash

(a) Friction burn from sliding or rubbing against an abrasive material, particularly carpet or rug.

A similar term, 'road rash', is used for similar burns stemming from sliding against asphalt, eg. crashing a motorcycle or falling off a bike at speed.

Despite the soft carpet dampening Johnny's fall, he still got some nasty rug rash from that fall.
