It has to the with the ratio of cross-sectional area to volume. If an object expands in size while keeping the same proportions the ratio of its cross sectional area to its volume decreases. If we assume a constant density, then the ratio of cross sectional area to mass increases as well. For example, if we take a sphere and double its diameter, its volume will increase eight times while its cross-sectional area will only increase four times. The force an object experiences from wind is proportional to its cross-sectional area while the maximum force holding it in place is usually proportional to its mass.
