Was Gollum's slip the only way? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have been wondering if it was possible for anyone to willingly cast the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Gollum slipped and that was how it was destroyed. If Gollum hadn't have been there, what would have happened?
I reckon Sam would have had to push Frodo in to get the job done, whether Sam could do that is a question in itself.
Did anyone in Middle Earth have power over the Ring?
