there are two things that prevent that one sounds like it would make them crash

they are constantly being pulled in to the planet due to gravitational pull which according to E=mc² actually pushes on the planet due to time and light bending around the object but that's another explanation

BUT heres the key

the rotation of the planet and rings (which are clouds made up of small asteroids and pieces of ice) also rotate along with the planet which slings them outward

now what this does is pushes them until they find their equilibrium that stabilizes them, much like the way the moon revolves the earth stabilizing it on its axis controlling the climate of the earth

i can explain the rings as a skydiver, the skydiver falls until the force of gravity is canceled out by the friction of wind resistance but in the case of the rings the force of gravity is nuled out by the force of the rotation throwing out the rings

long story short, no they will never collide unless Saturn cracks and splits in half, and i don't think Darth Vader is going to be shooting it with his death star any time soon.

How were Saturns rings made?

There are three theories on how Saturn got its rings: 1. Gravitational disruption of satellites: Saturn's gravitational pull tears anything apart that gets too close, and the fragments become part of the ring system. 2. Fragmentation of moons: moons of Saturn collide with each other and other bolides and break up, the fragments of which form Saturn's rings. 3. Accretionary remnant: rings are formed from primordial debris that was not accreted to form Saturn initially.
