Cessna doors open all the time by them selves. You dont even notice leaning on them and then suddenly you can say bye-bye to any stuff you have been stupid enough to put next to the door. They normally open just an inch ot two and can be closed with out drama or exitement.

But to intentionally open doors inflight and to possibly to a large angle, not so smart... Leave test flying to the pros.
