It happened to me a few years ago.
The hatch was secured with a bungee, but believe me I wished it was
not. The noise of the hatch banging against the fuselage was
terrifying, It took nearly an hour before the bungee finally broke.
There was a lot of damage to the fuselage surface where the hatch was
hitting it (see attached).
In this case, we were lucky - it was on a test flight following an
Annual Inspection. It departed apparently as the aircraft was
accelerating on the VNE run section. Flight was terminated shortly thereafter.
