Origin of To Go Out On a Limb
This idiom most likely developed from the practice of climbing trees, in which the farther away from the trunk (or, in other words, the further out on the limb) that a person went, the more dangerous it was.

This explains why this idiom is associated with various types of risk taking, including risk by assuming something without all the facts or by trying to help another person at one’s own possible detriment.
