bump into - is soft, not implying any damage, so it's not always a natural for a guy walking into a lamppost.

Blindfolded as he was, he bumped into the table, three chairs and the sofa but it was triiping over the coffee table that took him down.

Note: You can also bump something directly. “I bumped my head.” “I bumped my head on the ceiling in the basement “ And you can separate “bump” and “into”. “I bumped my car into his garage door”
