Elrond can't drop Isildur into the fire because Isildur has the ring and nobody can intentionally destroy the ring.

Gollum was only able to destroy the ring because he's fucking stupid.

Elven combat tactics presumably do not include the dropkick.

Charge at him, give him a big bear hug, and momentum takes both of them.

If you're smart enough to consider that this would destroy the ring, then you can't do it. It's intentionally destroying the ring.
