Had mine pop open during early PPL training, in R22, just after lifting to fly pattern. Made me jump - took hand off collective for about .5 sec before CFI shouted at me! He took control and I latched it properly - no problem but about 50 kts I suppose.

Soon solved the problem/risk of re-occurence - fly with door off!
