A pedestrian protecting device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a right air bag device 20R, a left air bag device 20L, G sensors 30a-30d (collision position detector), a vehicle speed sensor 32 (vehicle speed detector), a steering angle sensor 34 (steering angle detector), and an ECU 40 (controller) configured to control operations of the air bags. The air bags 22R and 22L include respective tip end portions 26 which vertically overlap each other at a middle portion of the vehicle 1 when the air bags 22R and 22L are deployed. The ECU 40 estimates a movement direction of a pedestrian who has collided with the vehicle 1. Based on a result of this estimation, the ECU 40 determines an operation target from the air bag devices 20R and 20L and an operation timing of the operation target. Based on a result of this determination, the ECU 40 controls operations of the air bag devices 20R and 20L.
