The ABC News anchors have a long history of breaking things.
Last year, Craig had a fractured collarbone and was sent home from work.
After that, a broken finger forced Craig to miss a few weeks of work.
In January this year, he had a dislocated shoulder after a fall.
A day later, a damaged foot required him to leave the studio.
When the anchor suffered a broken ankle during a break, he was sent back to work.
The latest incident came just weeks after Craig was sent to hospital after he was injured by a fallen tree.
While he was in hospital, the ABC News website crashed and was left without news content.
