This is a good example of what's called "diffusion of responsibility." The more people around, the less likely someone will come to action. They all assume someone else will, so no one does. It's actually better to get hit by a car when only a few people are around to help!
Oh, and though pedestrians have the right of way, a driver is not necessarily held responsible if they hit someone crossing the road where/when they're not supposed to. Right of Way laws are intended for things like traffic signals and crosswalks.

Welp you know how we all are up here. If they don't actually straight help you out, they will at least have multiple 911 calls so that the authorities will come.
And you heard about those teens on the bus that at least tried CPR to dude who fell out on the bus...
And this place is the ONLY place that honors peds right of way. Chit, you walk in the wrong place in SoCal, you might get decapitated...
