The invention relates to a pedestrian leg protecting device, system and method for a vehicle. The device comprises a fixed bracket, a supporting rod and a supporting rod releasing mechanism, wherein one end of the fixed bracket is fixedly connected with a body; the other end of the fixed bracket is flexibly connected with the supporting rod; and the supporting rod is movably connected with the supporting rod releasing mechanism and moves downwards when the supporting rod releasing mechanism executes releasing operation so that the gravity center of the supporting rod is lowered. Through the adoptions of the device, the system and the method, the supporting rod moves downwards under effects of the gravity force and a torsional spring force to reduce the height of the supporting rod when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian; therefore, a good supporting effect is exerted on the legs of the pedestrian and the pedestrian injury caused by collision is reduced.
