OP: If your going to use prussiks to ascend a fixed line you must tie them in a configuration so you are supported by both of them. There is an extremely good illustration on how to do this in the book Climbing Self-Rescue: Improvising Solutions for Serious Situations. I highly recommend you read it.
You can read it here:

Look on page 110 of the book. It shows you how to ascend using prussiks safely.
