It's one of the features of Ibuprofen that you can take it at those levels without killing yourself. Most people don't, but some people do - sometimes because doctors tell them to.

This makes it different to Paracetamol, where you only have to double or triple the standard dose to cause temporary liver damage, and increasing it only slightly further puts you in danger of death.
