Reminds me of a couple of security camera videos you can find on Youtube where people get hit by a car, fly up into the air, land on the street and the driver just keeps on going. Meanwhile nobody will go help the people. They just keep walking, some people don't even look. I recall one of the two struck, died.

I think too much is made of that. Unless you are a doctor, nurse or paramedic what are you to do? If fact trying to help might injure them further. People should stop traffic (if they can safely) and call for help of course.
Yeah, they could have done that, at a minimum, but they didn't even do that. Anything is better than the nothing that was done. I think I know recall that one of them was hit again, and still nobody did anything.
EDIT:
This isn't one of them, but it's deeply disturbing:

I also look at that picture and wonder why he's alone.
Do players just walk away from someone fallen? It just looks so sad.
I don't recall that particular incident (although I probably saw it because I was still heavy into football at the time and the 49ers are my favorite team), but I've seen enough football games in my life, and players always rush over when they see a teammate lying injured. No doubt that picture was just snapped in a split second before others got to him.

You can at least check on them to make sure they're okay and whatnot. To see a fellow human have such an accident and just walk away is, well, inhuman. A couple years ago while driving to town, my mom and I rounded a corner in the country and came upon an accident that had just happened. A guy on a motorcycle wiped out, and another vehicle had stopped and the occupants were calling emergency services. The guy was lying on the shoulder of the road and starting to panic, wanting to get up, but we did our best to calm him and keep him from moving in case he had anything broken.

Quarterback Steve Young shown lying on the field, injured, in his last game. Young retired due to repeated concussions.
THAT's your saddest picture? Wow.
Mine was a still of a boy looking down upon the body of a drowned, bloated naked baby after a flood in Bangladesh. It was published in Time Magazine sometime in the 1980s. Haunts me still.

Wrong! David in Berkeley! The saddest sports picture ever made is a fake one starring Richard Harris, called This Sporting Life. That's the saddest picture I've ever seen.
