I would guess measurements will change based on the skin's reaction to the cold temperature, or the person unnaturally tensing up, assuming we're talking about steel tape, which is very unlikely.

The better bet is that the tape they're using is made of plastic, which is going to deform much more.



Aha! Thanks. That makes much more sense :)
