Ehhh, I imagine the seed/filament weight ratio is much closer than the human/filament weight ratio... if you blow this up to human size/weight proportions the filaments would likely need to be gigantic.

I don't think you can scale the filaments up. Scaling this up would mean adding small holes to a parachute and filaments around those... And then we would get into the task of folding something full of small filaments.
