For some similarly worthless anecdotal evidence for you, a friend of mine hit a kid on a residential road while driving between 15 and 20mph. The boy ran out on the road in between two parked cars, right in front of my friend. Thankfully he wasn't majorly injured, just some bruises. Police came, there were plenty of witnesses, friend was told it wasn't his fault, not to worry, and someone even brought out a cup of tea to him.
So while you may not blame the pedestrian, you don't always have to blame whoever hits them either, as @Rhodrich is suggesting.
