I don't know about the Golf but its immediate successor, the P2002, comes in a fully EASA-certified version (the JF), with typical load certifications for 'normal' category use. Both designs are very classic all metal aircraft, with steel structure. The question about restrictions reminds me of the discussion about the Piper Mirages or the classical fork tailed doctor killers. Too soon to be looking at restrictions I'd say, unless it's in the area of more RA training. What other restriction could you sensibly apply?

That said, I have no idea of the qualifications of the pilot in this tragic accident.

Edit: +6, -3 G ultimate loading on the Golf. Similar, but bit less than, normal category C150 etc if my recollection of limit loads is correct, and using 50% upscale for ultimate load.
