I have only been bumped once. It was a 7mm Rem Mag with a Leupold 3.5x10 which I normally would not even think of as a combination that could even come close to getting me. Not a heavy kicking rifle and a scope with great eye relief usually means "no problem", and getting whacked by the scope never crossed my mind. The problem was the shot angle. It was an extreme uphill shot at a very nice buck. Holding for such an awkward shot put my face in a bad place. It was just a bump (not a cut) but it taught me a lesson.
