The limit is not absolute, but the further one goes over it, there less stability and safety.
A quick demo glide is possible, but gliding at full speed (red key) is ill-advised unless the glider has many, many hours of experience.
Also, I've demoed a couple of people at the high end of the suggested limit and found they are more prone to get into a "bucking" situation, so keep your eye on them.
Quite some time ago, it was said that Shaquille O'Neal rides a HT around inside his house, and he's well over the suggested limit.
