In Grid Iron , the skin damage is taken away by the clothing worn. I don't know about the rest, I have a piece of North End's plastic pitch in my house and it's very abrasive and rigid. I keep hearing technology has moved on in platic pitches but that was said when North End had their's installed. I recall when that great team Cambridge United had in the early nineties came to Deepdale on Boxing Day, they wore black tights under their shorts to prevent skin abarasions.
