Don't worry about it. I'm guessing you may have been misled by the Avherald report on the incident where, in typical fashion, they manage to contradict themselves in the space of a few lines.

First, they assert that "after touch down and during roll out the nose gear collapsed" and then that "the aircraft exited the paved surface of the runway at about 45 knots, the nose gear struck a concrete inspection pit and collapsed".

Accident: Air Contractors A30B at Bratislava on Nov 16th 2012, nose gear collapse on landing, runway excursion

I'd be confused too if I was reading that.
