If the pedestrian is running into the road at 10 mph and collides with a vehicle head on at 28mph, then they stand a far greater risk of being terminally injured, as opposed to just jumping into the path of the car. If they had stayed at home the problem would not have arisen.
Passing the blame doesn't solve anything.

The simple fact is that the driver can control his speed and the lower it is the less chance of an accident or if there is one, the less severe the injuries may be.
