A pedestrian struck by a bicycle can absolutely be killed. It's not an uncommon occurrence, and it doesn't happen more often only because it's easier for a pedestrian to get out of the way of a bicyclist.

It is a highly uncommon occurrence and it doesn't happen more often precisely because of the vastly diminished kinetic energy involved.
