Its actually pretty common. Its called a "de-gloving" injury. Your running your hand down something, It gets snagged and pulls the skin etc. off the bone.
It happens a lot on Navy ships when people wear wedding rings and slide down ladders.

I've heard about that before, but it doesn't generally bring a tendon along with, does it?

Nope. Your right.
It would depend on the mechanism of trauma though.
