You'd be surprised how many commercial jets every day technically take off beyond their maximum weights. Airlines use "standard" weights for passengers. If a few of these are above the "standard" (87kg for example) then you could technically be above max weight. Same goes for "standard" hand luggage.

I understand the airlines because their aircraft are bigger, but there was mention of a longer take off roll.
