While Mark was fortunate with his incident I would not recommend you
take his results as proof. In science you must be able to duplicate the
results of an experiment for it to be creditable. I think the results
might substantially depend on the canopy shape. I seem to recall, many
years ago, I did an engine start without even intending to taxi and had
not latched the canopy, something I never intend to do. I don't recall
the canopy popping up to wide open but , as I recall, it immediately
started to jump up and down before I pulled it shut and latched. I have
no idea what it might do in flight, thus the placard "Do not open in
flight".
