It sounds to me like you nailed it - he's clumsy. It sounds like he's just one of those "bull in a china shop" kids who don't even know the havoc they're creating around them. I had a girl like this 5+ years ago but because she was petite she caused more harm to herself than others.

He obviously needs more time to grow into his big body - in the meantime try to give him lots of outdoor time. By moving in large spaces, climbing, jumping, etc he'll get extra energy out and practice controlling his body.
