i do think though that it would be impossible to open the door inflight. the door has a plug type pressure valve built into it that swings inward. remember when you lift that handle that pressure release valve opens at the same time. i would imagine that while in flight there is enough pressure on it to keep it from opening, and inturn jamming the lever in the down position.
