It's a good point though that wrapping a sling around your neck could end very badly. Next time I'm going to try and make a Petzl Torse style chest harness that goes all the way over the shoulders and attaches to the back of the harness waist belt, like old timey suspenders.

Again my experience with micro ascenders is you *need* a chest harness, prefereably with elastic cord or something, to keep it positioned and prevent the biner/mallion from rotating and cross loading, and to prevent an awkward ~30cm fall onto a toothed ascender.
