If a kilt pin is heaavy enough to have any effect in the wind, it would most likely damage the fabric. My magnetic ones do have a minor effect in light winds, because they are heavier than those with pins, but as everyone has pointed out are not necessary for modesty purposes.
Many times my pins have been saved by the elastic band they are pinned through, the usual notification being the pin poking into my leg, if the clip is at the bottom. If the "security" clip is far enough away from the kilt material I sometimes secure it as well with a smidge of Blutack, but you don't want the Blutack to get attached to the kilt and I talk from experience.
On a final point, if your kilt is of light weight material, having a pin which pins horizontally lessens the stress on the material compared with a vertically mounted one. I tend to use circular style kilt pins (brooches) which have offset horizontal pins (so it hangs rather than tilts) with my PV kilts.

If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
