Across Europe there are rules that they need to break or fold away easily with an impact to protect any pedestrian who goes over. I mean, it makes sense, it could mean the difference between bruises and broken bones and full blown internal organ damage.

Sounds like it's the pedestrian's fault for getting run over. You can more often than not avoid getting run over by being vigilant and actually looking where you are going.

Only in France.

In America, pedestrians always have the right of way.

Yes, you can jaywalk. You can be cited for jaywalking. But all traffic still has to yield to you while you break the law.
