If Sam had had to push Frodo into the Cracks, he would have gone with him, I've no doubt about that. And he likely might have if he had needed to.

There was a residual effect on Frodo from having the Ring taken from him by Gollum. He states often in the ensuing years after the War of the Ring that he is wounded. And he gets sick on the anniversary of the destruction of the Ring. He's never the same hobbit after this ordeal, that's why he had to go to the Grey Havens; he would never be healed otherwise.
