Is this what they mean by 'going out on a limb'?

A crime in Florida has me scratching my head.

The victim, 25-year old Brandon Fleming, told deputies that Hatfield, the mother of his two-year old son, agreed to share custody and exchange the child every two weeks. He said Hatfield told him via text messages she was tired of him and would put him six feet under, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.

Fleming told deputies that around 11 p.m., Hatfield arrived to pickup the child and an altercation followed.

During that physical altercation, Fleming said Hatfield came up behind him, pulled off his prosthetic leg and began striking him with it.
