My boy is the same. If he's not running he is climbing. His coordination is much better now he is a bit older so not so many crashes but always has bruises and scraps on his legs.
At his daycare they have a huge outside area and spend most of the day outside which works for him.
On wet weekends we often end up going swimming or to a McDonalds playground so he can burn off a bit of energy, otherwise I catch him walking along the windowsill, riding his bike around the house and getting frustrated with crashing into furniture or jumping on the bed.

all i can say is it sounds to me like he is a normal boisterous boy. My girlfriend in USA has a boy who just before xmas broke his leg he is 2 this comes a little over a year after he broke his femur on the same leg. he has no underlying condition just accident prone.
i am sure he will grow out of it eventually.

Oh, I giggled at that. Sadistic sense of humour that I have....

Well, glad to hear he's normal!!
New bruises today... what can I do?! 
Oh, and the day care lady was laughing when she said it, and of course she knows there's nothing anyone can do, but there was underlying concern. Today she told me she's started wearing sandshoes to work instead of sandals to chase after Jackson!

Laurie - just wanted to say I think Jackson is great the way he is so enthusiastic and tears around everywhere, and yes, he gets his fair share of bumps and bruises but as the others have said, this doesn't seem abnormal at all!
And certainly a future All Black in the making, and I can say "I knew him when . . ." etc etc

yep we've got a very active lad here too...
have you thought about getting him into sports now? There's a soccer club in Wellington that takes kids from 1 year old (or basically, once they're walking) that sounds really good... could be a good way for him to learn some control and let off some steam at the same time?

Thanks for that link Gypsynita
Laurie - you up for toddler soccer? I'm going to take Catriona (but enrolled for term starting in April as have missed the start of this one) - she already loves kicking balls around
