A dribbler who steps out of bounds has committed an out of bounds violation, even if he/she is not touching the ball when he/she steps out of bounds.

During an interrupted dribble, a player may go out of bounds, return, and continue dribbling.

If a player's being bumped by an opponent causes them to go out of bounds, then there may be a foul depending on positioning of the players.

Can you give an example?

It's all in the definition of an interrupted dribble. If a dribbler momentarily loses immediate control of a dribble, it should probably be considered interrupted. This allows him to step OOB due to momentum (or even a small bump) without committing a violation.

An interrupted dribble (NFHS) occurs when the ball is loose after deflecting off the dribbler or after it momentarily gets away from the dribbler. There is no player control during an interrupted dribble. During an interrupted dribble: Out-of-bounds violation does not apply on the player involved in the interrupted dribble.
