I just dont really understand why it was so important that he didnt die. Somone could've just taken it after him, he wasn't special or anything, just given the title Ringbearer.
Actually I think Frodo was someone special in that, by my views, he was specifically chosen by Eru to taken the Ring to Mount Doom where it could be destroyed.

I have always thought since I read LOTR that only Frodo Baggins had the strength to carry that heavy, evil burden to Mount Doom because had anyone else been chosen I believe they would have succumbed to its evil power a LOOOOOOOOONG time before he did!

No there was no one else who could carry the Ring.....no one in ME!
