Pippin was a stooly, a sell-out, a nefarious double-agent of the worst kind. "Accident", my eye! He was signaling the orcs after waiting days for them to clue into the fact that the Fellowship was stumbling around Moria, ripe for the picking.
Pippin knew that he was risking being exposed for the black-hearted traitor he was, if he dropped that stone down the well, but he had to do SOMETHING, or the Fellowship would get away. Fortunately, he played his role of the lovable bumbler so well that no one suspected his true motives.
Don't believe me? Saying "Oh no, not our Pippin!"? Well, how else can you explain that episode with the Palantir? Saruman actually threw the deadly orb to Pippin, so he could contact his Fearless Leader and clue him in to what was going on. Agent Pippin pulled that one off, too.
Oh, BTW: The mysterious figure on the grassy knoll in Dallas? That was Pippin.
