Wow , that corner takes massive amounts of skill and balls to drive that fast . Is it known why this crash happened ? Did the rider just miscalculate the jump ? <| sep |> In Letter 246 to Eileen Elgar . It is not stated as certainty , but it is considered that it MIGHT have been possible for Elrond or Galadriel to use the Ring by building their own military empires that might have been able to defeat Sauron . What would have happened then is not speculated any more . It is said in that letter that Gandalf MIGHT have been able to face Sauron while wielding the Ring and tried to defeat Sauron . Had he been able to do it , the end result for Sauron would have been the same as in the case that the Ring was destroyed the power he poured into it was no longer in rapport with him but with Gandalf and Sauron would have died because his body he had assumed and kept alive was there thanks to the power in the Ring . In the book LotR it is stated that Sauron was afraid that Aragorn had the Ring and it seems that Sauron deemed it possible that Aragorn might use the Ring to build up his own political empire to compete with Sauron .
