What do you mean by unsafe? The skinnier the prussik, the more it's going to bite. So it comes down to how thin a cord you'll use, based on the rating for that cord. All the same, you'll have a helluva time trying to manage an ultra thin line. Go from experience and grab a 5-7 mm perlon. Stuff is cheap, grab a couple feet of something thinner too and see how you like it. I bet you go back to 5-7
