Hmmmm, the "Smeagol jumping" idea is intriguing! Would he jump because he knew the ring was evil, and hated what it has done to him? Or maybe, he has "feelings" for Frodo/Master, and sees the horrible number the ring has done on his only "friend", and jumps out of love???? Smeagol, the sad hero, instead of Gollum, the accidental hero??? I could go with that!
