The the landing gear isn’t designed to land at weights above the maximum landing weight which is lower than the maximum takeoff weight. Landing overweight can cause damage to the structures of the plane. This can be especially dangerous if much of the excess weight is fuel. The fuel tanks could rupture and cause a fire.
