If Gollum would have escaped the original explosion i dont suppose he would have left the mountain alive. Even if he had attempted to get off the way Sam and Frodo did, Gandalf only sent Gwahir(who was burdened by Gandalf already) Landroval and Meneldor(sp?)The last two were for Sam and Frodo and even if they were willing and able to bear Gollum, (he might have to hang onto one of the hobbits legs like Bilbo did to Nori long before)still i doubt very much that he would allow them to carry him. He would fear them and perhaps choose death before trusting them. Just some thoughts

Personally i wish Frodo, after having lost the ring off his finger, had come to his senses in time to give Gollum a nice swift kick off the edge. That would be much more exciting and dramatic than him just slipping but thats just my opinon [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
