The Ring has a will of its own and is very powerful. If Elrond had tried to take the ring with the purpose of destroying it I'm sure the Ring would enhance Isildur's strengths to prevent this from happening. Even then Isildur could have just put he ring on and disappeared. It managed to get stuck with Frodo who did want to destroy it but it tried desperately to find someone else it could corrupt easier IE Boromir.
