Scared to stretch the ruler

It means your scared to do something because it can backfire on you: if you stretch a ruler/measuring tape you don’t want to let go of it because your scared it will backfire to fast and hit your hand.

When free diving into the pool I was scared to stretch the ruler and didn’t jump.

“Heh Becca, did you hear about that new kid named Noah?”
“Yeah, he’s straighter than a ruler.”
