Were the Nazgul incapable of suicide? (Even though it wasn’t such a bad idea)

You know, I wonder, why was it necessary to take the ring _with torment_? Wouldn't sheer force suffice? Perhaps a common feature of the power rings was to be hidden to everyone and hold on to its master. [Gandalf maintained his ring, even though he was imprisoned by Saruman and even when reimbodied; Sauron too kept the ring to himself all the time, with the destruction of Numenor and whatnot; we could speculate about how Galadriel and Elrond kept their rings secret too...]
