Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
I put Gollum's slipping to be the work of the ring. A horrible side-effect is the ring got itself destroyed. I come to this conclusion because of the promise made by Gollum to Frodo by the ring.

"It will hold you. But it is more treacherous than you are. It may twist your words. Beware!" Frodo to Gollum.

Since Gollum broke his promise to serve Frodo, the ring punished Gollum.
