Safety

"Because when I feel safe, I can really relax, close all my eyes, and do just about anything you want." -- Johanna
There is a gentleman that has danced with me from the very first time I stepped on the floor, and we have a certain comfort level and always enjoy the dance, but I have noticed lately a...lack of awareness on his part regarding floorcraft. I don't wish to stop dancing with him, but I no longer feel safe...and this week have the bruises to show for it.

How do I let him know this while still being kind and firm?

Perhaps if he invites you to dance, you can gently say, "I would love to, but maybe after the floor clears a bit." Something to let him know that you would accept a dance but not with so many people to potentially run into. But ultimately I think the level of frankness with which you tell him depends on your social relationship. I'd be interested to hear how other people handle this.
