That's why you disable all limbs at the same time. Which could very well have resulted with it jumping into a tree before Ruby was able to shoot it. Then making a tree golem. That's why you hurry up and take the chance to kill it as soon as you have it. Ever played video games before? Bosses don't usually stand still once their weakpoint is revealed. You only got a few seconds to damage it. If the weakpoint is available the entire time you don't purposely attack its strong areas to make it more vulnerable, you go straight for the weakpoint.

Edit: The thing also did get a distance away and past trees before Ruby finally shot it. It wasn't. As Jaune put it, the thing was protecting its face. If they tried to attack it before, they'd probably get a rock to their faces before they reach it.

And yes, the thing managed to get away a little bit but died regardless. Ruby was pretty confident. She knew it wouldn't reach the trees before her bullet did so she took her time.
